             Summary: Update Scala Install instructions
                 Key: MXNET-1225
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MXNET-1225
             Project: Apache MXNet
          Issue Type: Story
          Components: Apache MXNet Scala API
            Reporter: Denis Davydenko


Current Scala Install instructions for building it from Source (not for Maven download) are not very easy to follow, they require navigating to multiple pages and figuring out how to build and stitch multiple pieces together to make it work. Also there are multiple paths users could end up following in order to build Scala from source. One of them could lead users to the trap that we experienced while building Scala from source for performance testing. The trap, in more details, pertains to instructions to build MXNet from source where there is no copying params into config.mk file. As a result – MXNet could be built with OpenBLAS but consequent Scala package build won’t have config.mk file to use and thus won’t have same set of params that were used during MXNet build (namely – it could miss USE_BLAS=OPENBLAS flag and thus build Scala package without it, exactly the trap we experienced). Please update Build from Source instructions to ensure this trap path is avoided.
