How to install sbt on ubuntu/debian with apt-get

After more searching the answer was found here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/docs/Installing-sbt-on-Linux.html

echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 642AC823
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sbt

This one does work

sbt
  Getting org.scala-sbt sbt 0.13.9 ...

And then.. be patient ..

Alternatively, you can also install it via:

export SBT_VERSION=1.5.5
curl -L -o sbt-$SBT_VERSION.zip https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/download/v$SBT_VERSION/sbt-$SBT_VERSION.zip
unzip sbt-$SBT_VERSION.zip -d ops

Please replace 1.5.5 above with the actual version of sbt you want.
