Getting a Scala interpreter to work

I\'m very new to Scala. I have downloaded it, got it working in Eclipse where I\'ll be developing it; but I can\'t make it work in Terminal.

All sites and books say

Answer 1

If you downloaded scala with macports try typing scala-2.9 (or whatever is the filename of the contents of folder /opt/local/bin/scala/)

(At least this works for OSX mountain lion)
