Q:

Problems importing akka scala

I am writing a toy Akka example to get some understanding of the concepts. I am having trouble importing the akka model into my project in intelij. 
I am making the below import statement 
import akka.actor.Actor

The error messgae reads 
 cannot resolve the symbol Akka

Is there an additional step to working with akka that I have missed ? 
Why does the compiler not recognise the import ? 

A:

You have to add Akka dependency to your build.sbt
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.typesafe.akka/akka-actor_2.11/2.5.18
Then you should reimport the dependency, using sbt tool in your ide as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20466144/2201566
