Well, it depends on whether you are generating a JAR or class files, etc, but it is pretty simple: you run it like any Java program, but including the Scala library as a dependency.

java -cp .:/path/to/scala-library.jar MyApp

Scala runs on the JVM. It does not have a separate virtual machine. But it does have its own libraries, so you will need to have Scala installed wherever you're running it.

If it's compiled you will have a .class file, so you just type in 

scala -cp myClassPath myPackage.myFileName

as you would with Java. You don't need the -cp option if you've navigated to your classes folder.

It is possible to run Scala classes using the java command - you can probably Google how to do it, but you would need to sort out all the correct imports and there's no reason not to just use scala as above.
