Since 2.6 i get deprecation warning on this line: 

import akka.stream.ActorMaterializer
implicit val actorMaterializer = ActorMaterializer()

Warning:

method apply in object ActorMaterializer is deprecated (since 2.6.0): Use the system wide materializer with stream attributes or configuration settings to change defaults

I don't understand that message, what am i supposed to do? What's 'system wide materializer', it it located in some akka package?

It's not needed anymore. But you have to have an implicit of ActorSystem available in your context.

implicit val actorSystem = ActorSystem()

Then the materializer is implicitly derived from ActorSystem in akka.stream.Materializer

  /**
   * Implicitly provides the system wide materializer from a classic or typed `ActorSystem`
   */
  implicit def matFromSystem(implicit provider: ClassicActorSystemProvider): Materializer =
    SystemMaterializer(provider.classicSystem).materializer
