Setting up IntelliJ with Scala and SBT Follow

Hello

I am trying to setup intellij with scala and sbt for development. I have already installed scala and SBT plugins on the IDE. However, when I try to create a new scala and sbt project,I get the following errors:

SBT 'untitled9' project refresh failed
Error:Error:Error while importing SBT project:<br/>...<br/><pre>https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/ivy-snapshots/org.fusesource.jansi/jansi/1.11/ivys/ivy.xml

Error during sbt execution: Error retrieving required libraries

Error: Could not retrieve jansi 1.11

The build.sbt files shows the following errors:

Cannot resolve symbol :=
Cannot resolve symbol name
Cannot resolve symbol version
Cannot resolve symbol scalaVersion

Here is my build.sbt file which was created by the IDE itself:

name := "setup"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.12.2"

The following are the steps I followed for creating the project:

Step One: File -> New Project

Step Two: Choose Scala from the left hand side panel and choose SBT on the right hand side panel (i.e SBT-based Scala project) and click Next.

Step Three: Fill in the project details and click Finish. ( Scala version -> 2.12.2, SBT version -> 0.13.13) ( tried different versions of SBT)

IntelliJ version - IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1.3

the Log file has the following content:

Getting org.fusesource.jansi jansi 1.11 ...

So I think this is an issue with my proxy settings. However, I see that my colleagues face the same issue when creating a new project except that it works for them if they choose a particular version of SBT ( the version that works is changing from person to person). Is there a way to solve this inconsistency??

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
