Download and Install

Install dependencies

Before you being developing, ensure you have the following dependencies installed in your development environment:

• JDK version 8 or later

• sbt version 1 or later

Create a project directory

Run the following command in your shell to create a directory called scala-quickstart for this project:

mkdir scala-quickstart

Select the tab corresponding to your operating system and run the following commands to create a build.sbt file in the scala-quickstart directory:

cd scala-quickstart
touch build.sbt

cd scala-quickstart
type nul > build.sbt

Configure your project to use the Scala driver

Navigate to your build.sbt file and add the following code to use the Scala driver in your application:

ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "2.13.16"
libraryDependencies += "org.mongodb.scala" %% "mongo-scala-driver" % "5.3.0"

This code configures your application to use Scala version 2.13.16 and Scala driver version 5.3.0.
