Example application demonstrating how to run EconomicSL auction simulations and analyze results using Python.
Recommend installing the Continuum Analytics Anaconda Python 3 distribution for your operating system.
To see what version (if any!) of Java you already have installed on your system, open a terminal (or command prompt on Windows) and run...
java -version
...if the result is something like...
java version "1.8.0_$BUILD_NUMBER
...then you are good to go and can proceed to installing Scala and SBT. Note that the $BUILD_NUMBER will depend on the exact build of Java 8 you have installed. If you are running older versions of the JDK (or a JDK is not installed on your machine), then you can down install the Java 8 JDK from either Oracle or the OpenJDK 8 project.
Pre-packaged installers for Oracle's JDK 8 are available for all major operating systems. If you are new to Java development (and/or are not using a Linux-based OS!) then I would suggest that you use one of Oracle's pre-packaged installers.
The OpenJDK 8 project is an open-source reference implementation of the Oracle Java SE 8 Platform Specification. Installing the OpenJDK on Linux systems is a piece of cake. For example, Debian or Ubuntu users just need to open a terminal and run...
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
...installing OpenJDK on Mac OSX can be done but requires a bit more work. While I am sure it is possible to install the OpenJDK on Windows, I don't have any idea how to go about doing it!
To verify your Java install, open a terminal (or command prompt on Windows) and run...
java -version
...and the result should be something like...
java version "1.8.0_$BUILD_NUMBER
...where the $BUILD_NUMBER will depend on the exact build of Java 8 you have installed
Once Java 8 is installed, need to install Scala and SBT. Installers exist for all major operating systems for both Scala and SBT.
An alternative solution is to install Activator from LightBend which includes both Scala and SBT (as well as the Play Framework).
To verify your Scala install, open a terminal (or command prompt on Windows) and run...
scala -version
...and the result should be something like...
Scala code runner version 2.11.8 -- Copyright 2002-2016, LAMP/EPFL
To verify your SBT install, open a terminal (or command prompt on Windows) and run...
sbt sbtVersion
...and the result should be something like...
