Couchbase Scala SDK Installation

    Installation instructions for the Couchbase Scala Client.

    This page gives full installation instructions for the Scala SDK. In most cases, the Quickstart Guide should be enough to get you up and running if you’re in a hurry.

    Prerequisites

    The Scala SDK is tested against LTS versions of Oracle JDK and OpenJDK — see our compatibility docs. The underlying OS normally makes no difference, but library incompatibilities in Alpine Linux makes a workaround necessary for this OS.

    The Couchbase Scala SDK 1.7 Client supports Scala 2.12 and 2.13.

    Installing the SDK

    The Couchbase Scala SDK is available on the Maven repository, packaged for Scala 2.12 and 2.13.

    With SBT Projects

    It can be included in your SBT build like this:

    sbt
    Copy
    libraryDependencies += "com.couchbase.client" %% "scala-client" % "1.7.8"

    This will automatically use the Scala 2.12 or 2.13 builds, as appropriate for your SBT project.

    With Gradle Projects

    It can be included in your build.gradle like this for 2.12:

    groovy
    Copy
    dependencies {
    compile group: 'com.couchbase.client', name: 'scala-client_2.12', version: '1.7.8'
}

    or 2.13:

    groovy
    Copy
    dependencies {
    compile group: 'com.couchbase.client', name: 'scala-client_2.13', version: '1.7.8'
}

    With Maven Projects

    It can be included in your Maven pom.xml like this for 2.12:

    xml
    Copy
    <dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.couchbase.client</groupId>
        <artifactId>scala-client_2.12</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.8</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

    or 2.13:

    xml
    Copy
    <dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.couchbase.client</groupId>
        <artifactId>scala-client_2.13</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.8</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

    Using a Snapshot Version

    Couchbase publishes pre-release snapshot artifacts to the Sonatype OSS Snapshot Repository. If you wish to use a snapshot version, you’ll need to tell your build tool about this repository.

    pom.xml
    xml
    Copy
    <repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
    <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
    <releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
    <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
  </repository>
</repositories>
