SBT Error: “Failed to construct terminal; falling back to unsupported…”

Question

I have run into an ERROR with SBT today. It can best be shown with the sbt sbt-version command:

Run on 5/29/17:

eric@linux-x2vq:~$ sbt s         


        

Answer 1

This resolved the issue in my case (Linux Users):

1. Open your terminal
2. Navigate to your project directory
3. type "export TERM=xterm-color" in your terminal without the quotes
4. Hit ENTER

That is all and then you are good to go.
