How to install Scala software

Question

I want to use a tool written by Scala but I have no experience with Scala.

The tool I want to use is from https://github.com/allenai/pdffigures2. It told me how to install the tool in the readme but I can not understand.

It said I need

     resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("allenai", "maven")

And then include

      libraryDependencies += "org.allenai" %% "pdffigures2" % "0.0.11"

what does that mean, where should I add them? I am on Ubuntu. It would be kind if someone can tell me how to install this tool step by step, currently, there is not Scala in my computer.

Install sbt (Scala build tool) from here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/

Create a new Project with

sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8
cd <project_name>
vi build.sbt

Add your lines to this build.sbt. After that you can use the commands given in the section "Command Line Tools" of pdffigures2

Edit: Just saw that the library is only available for Scala 2.11. Could you change the scala version in build.sbt as follows:

scalaVersion := "2.11.11",

You answer works. But another issue comes: I have added resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("allenai", "maven") to the build.sbt according to the readme file, but it also told me "unresolved dependency: org.allenai#pdffigures2_2.12;0.0.11: not found ". Could you tell me how fix it?

The library is only available for scala 2.11, I edited the answer to show how to specify the version number.
