Answer 1

Indeed what @cib is saying solves my problem. Just modify the file plugins.sbt in my projet directory.

Change the line :

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.4.2")

to:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.3.9")

and you'll not get any errors doing activator run again.
