Flink version: Apache Flink 1.7.2 only binary. Scala:2.12

Enviroment: 

Scala version: 2.12.5   
JDK: 1.8.0_171

I simply untar this archive and run 

bin/start-scala-shell.sh local

I got the error : 

cannot find or load main class org.apache.flink.api.scala.FlinkShell.

What is missed?

Flink built on Scala 2.12 version Doesn't support Flink Scala shell yet. So you should use the Flink binary built based on Scala 2.11 if you want to use Flink Scala shell. A message from Chesnay Schepler, Committer of Flink project:

This is intended. Increasing the Scala version basically broke the scala-shell and we haven't had the time to fix it. It is thus only available with Scala 2.11. I agree that the error message could be better though.
