I have tried to install SBT on my macbook. When I run it, it doesn’t ask me for any project definitions (e.g. title) and simply says 

[info] Set current project to default (in build file:/Users/qui/Documents/Programming/test2/)

It then goes to what looks like the sbt interpreter.

When I look inside “test2”, there is a project and target directory but I dont see a src directory to work with

Clearly I have gone wrong somewhere in my installation but I’m unsure where. Any ideas?

Update

So I just installed 0.10 on a fresh fedora install. And I am getting the exact same problem, same “info” message and it has only created a project and target directory

I must be doing something idiotic right? What am I doing wrong? :p

    No you’re not doing something wrong, previous versions of sbt (0.7.x) did ask you if you wanted to create your project.

    sbt version 0.10.x is a complete rewrite and does not act the same way (i.e. ask you to create a project on startup).

    The old project was on googlecode but has since moved to github, you can find the documentation for 0.10.x at https://github.com/harrah/xsbt/wiki, in particular https://github.com/harrah/xsbt/wiki/Settings if you come from a 0.7.x background.

    It’s a bit hard to wrap your head around the new settings system at first, but trust me when I say you’ll love it 🙂
