Import Jar Library from Classpath in Scala

So I have tried to import a library to Scala which comes as a Jar.
I have been looking for solutions online for half the day today, and at least got to the stage where I can successfully add the jar to the class path.

But when I try to import it now, it doesn't seem to work. I get an error: not found. I am working in an anaconda environment and I would like to load the package without using sbt.

This is the code I run:

scala> :require tinyir.jar

which returns

Added '/my/directory/structure/tinyir.jar' to classpath.

Then I run:

scala> import tinyir._

and I receive:

<console>:11: error: not found: value tinyir
import tinyir._
          ^

Many thanks for any comments. Any help much appreciated.

:require tinyir is enough

I'm assuming you are doing a scala course and trying to use http://www.da.inf.ethz.ch/files/tinyir.jar jar,

remember that Scala uses packages, 

lnramirez:Downloads lnramirez$ ls -ltrh
-rw-r--r--@  1 lnramirez  1240321454    42K Oct 19 15:43 tinyir.jar
lnramirez:Downloads lnramirez$ scala
Welcome to Scala version 2.11.7 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_65).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.

scala> :require tinyir.jar
Added '/Users/lnramirez/Downloads/tinyir.jar' to classpath.

scala> import ch.ethz.dal.tinyir._
import ch.ethz.dal.tinyir._
