Sure, you can use 'sbt package' command, it creates a jar file but this jar will be without any dependencies. To run it necessary to specify 'classpath' arg to the libraries.

In your case you wish a standalone runnable file. And you need to add the dependencies. To do this you can use 'assembly' plugin for SBT, see https://github.com/sbt/sbt-assembly/

Afterward you can just run 'sbt assembly' command, it provides a fat jar file with all dependencies that you can deploy and run anywhere and at any time.
