You can try quickly and easily Hamsters with ScalaFiddle.

Alternatively, a REPL script is provided. try-hamster.sh script downloads and installs Coursier, Ammonite REPL and Hamsters dependency. No dependencies needed other than a JDK.

PS: The macros don't work with the REPL

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scala-hamsters/hamsters/master/scripts/try-hamsters.sh | bash
