Q:

sbt new not a valid command

I am going through a coursera course and as explained, I am trying to create a new sbt project using the below command:
sbt new scala/hello-world.g8

In a Windows machine. I have sbt 0.13.8 installed. When executing the command it is giving the below error. 
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0
[info] Set current project to workspaces (in build file:/D:/software%20materials%20workspaces/WorkSpaces/)
[error] Not a valid command: new (similar: set)
[error] Not a valid project ID: new
[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
[error] Not a valid key: new (similar: name, run, runner)
[error] new
[error]    ^

I am not able to understand what the problem is. Help me out in understanding and solving this problem

A:

I agree with Seth. It looks like the first version to include new is 0.13.13. I just came across this in creating new apps with more recent versions of the Scala Play framework (ex: 2.5). The github templating command line, giter8, is called via sbt new like this:
sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8
