Oracle provides deb and rpm installers

If your Linux distribution is using DEB package format like Debian, you can download and install the jdk-$java_version_linux-x64_bin.deb file using the following command:

sudo dpkg -i jdk-$java_version_linux-x64_bin.deb

If your  Linux distribution is using RPM package format like Cent OS, you can download and install the jdk-$java_version_linux-x64_bin.rpm file using the following command:

sudo rpm -ivh jdk-$java_version_linux-x64_bin.rpm

However, this article explains the manual installation method which is applicable for all Linux distributions out there. Personally, I prefer the manual installation because I have more control over the changes made in the system.

Manage GitHub Actions Artifact Storage

If you are reading this post, I hope you have already faced the error: "Create Artifact Container failed: Artifact storage quota has been hit. Unable to upload any new artifacts". If not and if you are about to set up GitHub actions for your repository, read this article before you start to avoid facing the above error down the line.

GitHub: the famous code hosting platform stretches beyond being just a hosting platform. GitHub Actions is one such addition that automates workflows in a repository. Though GitHub is generous enough to provide free storage and computing power, there is a limit on your free meal. For more details about the quota, refer to the official document.

Product	Storage	Minutes (per month)
GitHub Free	500 MB	2,000
GitHub Pro	1 GB	3,000
GitHub Free for organizations	500 MB	2,000
GitHub Team	2 GB	3,000
GitHub Enterprise Cloud	50 GB	50,000

GitHub Quota

This article focuses on the storage limitation though similar precaution has to be taken on computation too. Let's say you have a pretty active development team or a community that keeps pushing changes every hour. Suppose your workflow builds an uber jar and packs them into docker containers using two workflow operations; you may choose to upload the uber jar to the artifact storage at the end of the build operation and download it in the deploy operation. However, if your account is a GitHub Free account (with a 500 MB storage limitation) and your uber jar size is around 100 MB, you can only have five artifacts in the artifact storage. If you didn't clear the previous builds, your sixth build will fail to upload the artifact with the following error: Create Artifact Container failed: Artifact storage quota has been hit. Unable to upload any new artifacts.

Install Scala the Old School Way

Finally, you found the place that shows you how to install Scala on Linux from binaries. Even the Scala's official website promotes installing on IntelliJ or installing using SBT. However, I prefer to install Scala the old school way using binaries for testing purposes because it gives me more control on what kind of changes are made on my system. For any hardcore development purposes, I do use Scala on IntelliJ Idea. This article explains how to install Scala using pre-built binaries.
