Downloading and installing Akka
-------------------------------
To build and run the tutorial sample from the command line, you have to download Akka. If you prefer to use SBT to build and run the sample then you can skip this section and jump to the next one.

Let's get the ``akka-1.1`` distribution of Akka core (not Akka Modules) from `http://akka.io/downloads <http://akka.io/downloads/>`_. Once you have downloaded the distribution unzip it in the folder you would like to have Akka installed in, in my case I choose to install it in ``/Users/jboner/tools/``, simply by unzipping it to this directory.
Let's get the ``akka-actors-1.1.zip`` distribution of Akka from

tutorial. Once you have downloaded the distribution unzip it in the folder you

You need to do one more thing in order to install Akka properly: set the ``AKKA_HOME`` environment variable to the root of the distribution. In my case I'm opening up a shell, navigating down to the distribution, and setting the ``AKKA_HOME`` variable::

- In the ``dist`` directory we have the Akka JARs, including sources and docs.
- In the ``lib_managed/compile`` directory we have Akka's dependency JARs.
- In the ``deploy`` directory we have the sample JARs.
- In the ``scripts`` directory we have scripts for running Akka.
- Finally ``scala-library.jar`` is the JAR for the latest Scala distribution that Akka depends on.
- In the ``config`` directory we have the Akka conf files.
- In the ``doc`` directory we have the documentation, API, doc JARs, and also
the source files for the tutorials.
- In the ``lib`` directory we have the Scala and Akka JARs.
- In the ``src`` directory we have the source JARs for Akka.
The only JAR we will need for this tutorial (apart from the ``scala-library.jar`` JAR) is the ``akka-actor-1.1.jar`` JAR in the ``dist`` directory. This is a self-contained JAR with zero dependencies and contains everything we need to write a system using Actors.
