sbt crashes on attempt to run after installation - sbt

Question

In order to solve this issue, I tried to install sbt using the following commands:
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sbt
When I then type sbt, I get this output:
[warn] No sbt.version set in project/build.properties, base directory: /usr/share

What is the problem here? I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.2.

[warn] No sbt.version set in project/build.properties, base directory: /usr/share
Did you try to run sbt in /usr/share?
If so please try running it in a working directory where you have write rights. For a quick start see sbt by example.
