Install the latest __community__ edition.

### Project structure
Review [Introduction to the Standard Directory Layout](https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html) page

## Adding implementation
![](https://i.imgur.com/guHf85T.png)
* Add new package to `scala` folder by right-mouse-button-click then `new` then `Package`. Name package as `ksugc` (Karazin Scala Users' Group Course)
![](https://i.imgur.com/9dQqaIj.png)

* Add new Scala class by `new` then `Scala Class`. Name the class as `HelloWorld`

* Add the following code to your class:

```[scala]
package ksugc

object HelloWorld extends App  {

  println("Hello world!")

}

```

* Build the project by "green hummer" or `Build` the `Build Project`. It may take up to several minutes (depends on the performance of your notebook)
![](https://i.imgur.com/9PYbB6H.png)

* Run the application by clickin on the "green triangle"
![](https://i.imgur.com/IJNwrbK.png)

If you faced the error
![](https://i.imgur.com/wiE6cPr.png)
then rebuild the project and run again. If it didn't help then manually remove `Target` folder then rebuild and run the project.

If all works fine then you'll see

* .gitignore
Create `.gitignore` file (with the dot symbol in front) at the top level of the project.

Add following text to the file:
```
*.class
*.log

# sbt specific
.cache/
.history/
.lib/
dist/*
target/
lib_managed/
src_managed/
project/boot/
project/plugins/project/

# Scala-IDE specific
.scala_dependencies
.worksheet
.idea
.idea/
```

![](https://i.imgur.com/Xcws4Ep.png)

* Add all necessary files to the repository (all unnecessary files listed in `.gitignore` won't be added) by `git add .` (dot after `add` is required)
![](https://i.imgur.com/sBHrlkt.png)

* Make your first commit  by `git commit -m "Init repository"`
