sbt new not a valid command

I am going through a coursera course and as explained, I am trying to create a new sbt project using the below command:

sbt new scala/hello-world.g8

In a Windows machine. I have sbt 0.13.8 installed. When executing the command it is giving the below error. 

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0
[info] Set current project to workspaces (in build file:/D:/software%20materials%20workspaces/WorkSpaces/)
[error] Not a valid command: new (similar: set)
[error] Not a valid project ID: new
[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
[error] Not a valid key: new (similar: name, run, runner)
[error] new
[error]    ^

I am not able to understand what the problem is. Help me out in understanding and solving this problem

On my Mac I ran into a similar issue and fixed it by updating brew (used to install) then updating sbt:

brew update
brew upgrade sbt

First step was needed so the latest sbt could install. If whatever package manager you are using is out of date, it may result in the same problem. Not sure what Windows needs to install but this may help with others landing on this question.

I agree with Seth. It looks like the first version to include new is 0.13.13. I just came across this in creating new apps with more recent versions of the Scala Play framework (ex: 2.5). The github templating command line, giter8, is called via sbt new like this:

sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8
