SDKMAN!
$ sdk install sbt
Homebrew
$ brew install sbt
warning
Homebrew maintainers have added a dependency to JDK 13 because they want to use more brew dependencies (brew#50649). This causes sbt to use JDK 13 even when java available on PATH is JDK 8 or 11. To prevent sbt from running on JDK 13, install jEnv or switch to using SDKMAN.
