Can't Import Flink into Project - scala

Question

So I used this to install a sample Flink project.
https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink-project.g8
I am trying to use this template that lets me just start writing a Flink ingestion application and not have to worry about dependencies but it's backfiring. It turns out I can't find Flink when I try to sync with sbt (not going to lie but this part is even fuzzy for me). Was wondering if anyone knew how to make my project find Flink. Very excited to use the technology.
Error while importing sbt project:

edit: I got the project to build but I can not click around in my IDE. By that I mean when I try to move into a Flink class it can not find declarations.

Flink Scala currently only supports Scala 2.10 and 2.11, so you have to downgrade your Scala to one of those releases or use its Java interface.
