How to run scala code from terminal

I have a simple Scala code that i want to run from osx Terminal.
Currently, my code runs in intellij.

object test
{
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit =
  {
     // my code
  }
}

So i have this .scala path:

/Users/rdave/projects/test.scala

This is what i have tried from osx Terminal:

scala /Users/rdave/projects/test.scala

scalac /Users/rdave/projects/test.scala

And got command not found

Better yet, put your code in the "standard" directory structure (your scala class would therefore end up in /Users/rdave/projects/myproject/src/main/scala/) and run sbt console. You will have access to all your code and be able to use the REPL for experimentation.

command not found

Is generated by the terminal, signaling that it can't find your executable

As the docs suggest:

Path and Environment
For quick access, add scala and scalac to your path. For example:

Environment     Variable        Value (example)
Unix            $SCALA_HOME     /usr/local/share/scala
                $PATH           $PATH:$SCALA_HOME/bin

After this, you will be able to call scala and scalac without any errors.
