Releases Repository

The Akka dependencies are available from Akka’s library repository. To access them there, you need to configure the URL for this repository.

sbt
resolvers += "Akka library repository".at("https://repo.akka.io/maven")
Maven
<project>
  ...
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>akka-repository</id>
      <name>Akka library repository</name>
      <url>https://repo.akka.io/maven</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
</project>
Gradle
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url "https://repo.akka.io/maven"
    }
}

Snapshots Repository

Snapshot builds are available from the repository at https://repo.akka.io/snapshots. All Akka modules that belong to the same build have the same version.

Warning

The use of Akka SNAPSHOTs, nightlies and milestone releases is discouraged unless you know what you are doing.

sbt definition of snapshot repository

Make sure that you add the repository to the sbt resolvers:

resolvers += "Akka library snapshot repository".at("https://repo.akka.io/snapshots")

Define the library dependencies with the complete version. For example:

libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-cluster_2.13" % "2.9.0+72-53943d99-SNAPSHOT"

Maven definition of snapshot repository

Make sure that you add the repository to the Maven repositories in pom.xml:

<repositories>
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>akka-repository</id>
      <name>Akka library snapshot repository</name>
      <url>https://repo.akka.io/snapshots</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
</repositories>

Define the library dependencies with the complete version. For example:

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.typesafe.akka</groupId>
    <artifactId>akka-cluster_2.13</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.0+72-53943d99-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>
