I installed SBT v0.12.4. Now I want to update it to v0.13.x, so I have used the command
brew install sbt
It says that it has correctly installed SBT 0.13.x. but if I ask on terminal the version of SBT, it says 0.12.4. How to update it?

There are two sbt versions:
The
sbt-launcher. This is used to download and run a particular sbt version. This is what you installed with brew. If you typesbt --versionit should tell you the version of the launcher brew installed.sbt itself (for building projects). This is controlled via a
project/build.propertiesfile by project. So one launcher can launch many versions of sbt, and is generally backwards compatible. To update this version, simple change thesbt.versionproperty inproject/build.properties.

thanks, my launcher is 0.13.6 and in the project 0.12.4. I don't see the
build.propertiesbecause android studio doesn't show mw up this file, I've to manually enter with finder on the folder. Commented Nov 3, 2014 at 15:38 -

check sbt version:
sbt sbtVersion
upgrade sbt version:
brew upgrade sbt
There is an alternative sbt-launcher with source code here paulp/sbt-extras that allows specifying sbt version within command line.
Installing sbtx
brew install --HEAD paulp/extras/sbtx
Or
curl -Ls https://git.io/sbt > ~/bin/sbt && chmod 0755 ~/bin/sbt
Building project with desired sbt version
sbt -sbt-version 1.2.5 clean test
