# [Blogs](../blog/) >> Use Vim as a Scala IDE
This is a general guide for using SpaceVim as a Scala IDE, including layer configuration and usage.
Each of the following sections will be covered:
<!-- vim-markdown-toc GFM -->
- [Setup Scala development environment](#setup-scala-development-environment)
- [Enable language layer](#enable-language-layer)
- [code completion](#code-completion)
- [alternate file jumping](#alternate-file-jumping)
- [code running](#code-running)
- [REPL support](#repl-support)
- [code format](#code-format)
<!-- vim-markdown-toc -->
### Setup Scala development environment
Make sure you have scala installed in your os.
If you are using windows, you can install scala and coursier via:
```
scoop install scala coursier
```
If you want to use `lsp` layer, you need to install the language server for scala:
```
coursier install metals
```
### Enable language layer
`lang#scala` layer provides scala language specific features for SpaceVim.
This layer is not enabled by default. To write scala language,
you need to enable the `lang#scala` layer.
Press `SPC f v d` to open SpaceVim configuration file, and add following configuration:
```toml
[[layers]]
name = 'lang#scala'
```
for more info, you can read the [lang#scala](../layers/lang/scala/) layer documentation.
### code completion
By default the autocomplete layer has been enabled, so after loading `lang#scala` layer, the code completion
for scala language should work well.
### alternate file jumping
To manage the alternate file for a project, you may need to create a `.project_alt.json` file in the root of your
project.
for example, add following content into the `.project_alt.json` file:
```json
{
"src/*.scala": { "alternate": "test/{}.scala" },
"test/*.scala": { "alternate": "src/{}.scala" }
}
```
with this configuration, you can jump between the source code and test file via command `:A`
### code running
The key binding for running current file is `SPC l r `, it will run `sbt run` asynchronously.
And the stdout will be shown on a runner buffer.
### REPL support
Start a `scala` inferior REPL process with `SPC l s i`. After REPL process started,
you can send code to `scala` process via key bindings:
| Key Bindings | Descriptions |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `SPC l s b` | send buffer and keep code buffer focused |
| `SPC l s l` | send line and keep code buffer focused |
| `SPC l s s` | send selection text and keep code buffer focused |
### code format
The code formation feature is provided by `format` layer, and this layer is enabled by default.
The default format engine is `neoformat`, it will run `scalafmt` or `scalariform`
asynchronously on current file.
To use `scalafmt`, you need to install it via:
```
coursier install scalafmt
```
If you want to use scalariform, you need to install [`scalariform`](https://github.com/scala-ide/scalariform).
and set `scalariform_jar` option to the path of the scalariform jar.
