Hi Blaok, can you help me install the sbt and jdk, I believe the following commands will do:

sudo apt-get install default-jdk default-jre
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list
curl -sL "https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823" | sudo apt-key add
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sbt

They are from sbt install manual

Sorry, I thought the cdsc0 is the container, problem solved

[SihaoLiu]

I think I am all set, there is no close button. Feel free to close it
