Coursier⁠ is the Scala application and artifact manager. It can install Scala applications and setup your Scala development environment. It can also download and cache artifacts from the web.

Coursier provides a number of services:

• manage the installed Scala applications: install, list, update, uninstall, search
• configure channels to install Scala applications from: channel
• launchers for Scala applications: launch, bootstrap
• manage the installed JVMs: java, java-home
• directly manipulate Maven dependencies: fetch, resolve
• perform setup again

List all applications, installed by Coursier

The install command installs Scala applications, i.e.

cs install scalafmt
