Where are Typesafe Activator downloaded files and where is Scala installed? Macbook OSX

I am new to scala and use Macbook for short time and yesterday I downloaded Typesafe Activator, installed it and executed command: activator and activator ui

Then, many files has been downloaded but I wonder: where are they?

I am searching for, for example, Scala files but can find it.. Or they were not downloaded at all?

I have done the research but found nothing

will appreciate your help, thanks

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

If you need system global scala and sbt binaries, you can use homebrew like this: brew install scala and/or brew install sbt. Don't forget to brew update and brew doctor before :)

Activator itself just downloads jar and then runs it via OS X's preinstalled java, so no "scala files" was downloaded :)

After downloading activator you can create template projects via activator new [project-name] [template-name], list of available templates is available either in Activator Web UI or via activator list-templates command. After creating project under [project-name] dir you will have script activator there which itself runs sbt. You can use it just like usual local sbt installation.
