Swift 3.0<\/h3>\n

Swift 3.0 has officially been released as of September 13, 2016<\/a>!<\/p>\n

apt-get<\/h3>\n

Downloading a .tar.gz<\/code> from Apple is nice. Using apt-get<\/code> on an Ubuntu distribution is even better. To make it is easy to get started with Swift on Linux, we’ve provided an Ubuntu repository that you can obtain the latest Swift packages from.<\/p>\n

1. Add the repository key<\/b><\/p>\n

\nwget -qO- http:\/\/dev.iachieved.it\/iachievedit.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -\n<\/pre>\n
2.  Add the appropriate repository to sources.list<\/code><\/b><\/p>\n
Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr)<\/b><\/p>\n
\necho \"deb http:\/\/iachievedit-repos.s3.amazonaws.com\/ trusty main\" | sudo tee --append \/etc\/apt\/sources.list\n<\/pre>\n
Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf)<\/b><\/p>\n
\necho \"deb http:\/\/iachievedit-repos.s3.amazonaws.com\/ wily main\" | sudo tee --append \/etc\/apt\/sources.list\n<\/pre>\n
Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)<\/b><\/p>\n
\necho \"deb http:\/\/iachievedit-repos.s3.amazonaws.com\/ xenial main\" | sudo tee --append \/etc\/apt\/sources.list\n<\/pre>\n
3.  Run apt-get update<\/code><\/b><\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get update\n<\/pre>\n
4.  Install swift-3.0!<\/b><\/p>\n
\napt-get install swift-3.0\n<\/pre>\n
5.  Update that PATH<\/code>!<\/b><\/p>\n
Our packages install Swift in \/opt\/swift\/swift-3.0<\/code>:<\/p>\n
\nexport PATH=\/opt\/swift\/swift-3.0\/usr\/bin:$PATH\n<\/pre>\n
Even better, update your .bashrc<\/code>, .zshrc<\/code>, etc. script and permanently add \/opt\/swift\/swift-3.0\/usr\/bin<\/code> to your PATH<\/code>.<\/p>\n
6.  Try it out<\/b><\/p>\n
\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/apple\/example-package-dealer\ncd example-packager-dealer\nswift build\nCompiling Swift Module 'FisherYates' (1 sources)\nLinking Library:  .build\/debug\/FisherYates.a\nCompiling Swift Module 'PlayingCard' (3 sources)\nLinking Library:  .build\/debug\/PlayingCard.a\nCompiling Swift Module 'DeckOfPlayingCards' (1 sources)\nLinking Library:  .build\/debug\/DeckOfPlayingCards.a\nCompiling Swift Module 'Dealer' (1 sources)\nLinking Executable:  .build\/debug\/Dealer\n<\/pre>\n
Run it!<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/h2>\n
Q.<\/b>  Did Apple build these binaries?
\nA.<\/b>  No, I built them on my personal server using the instructions I posted here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  What git revisions are included in the build?
\nA.<\/b>  You can use apt-cache show swift-3.0<\/code> to see this information.  For example:<\/p>\n
\n# apt-cache show swift-3.0\nPackage: swift-3.0\nConflicts: swift-2.2\nVersion: 1:3.0-0ubuntu14+xenial1\nArchitecture: amd64\nInstalled-Size: 379197\nMaintainer: iachievedit (support@iachieved.it)\nDepends: clang (>= 3.6), libicu-dev\nHomepage: http:\/\/dev.iachieved.it\/iachievedit\/swift\nPriority: optional\nSection: development\nFilename: pool\/main\/s\/swift-3.0\/swift-3.0_3.0-0ubuntu14+xenial1_amd64.deb\nSize: 73949420\nSHA256: 5a7231d307bfb6564ec931313bfaf1a9442d5a8a911afe8e7f9ed08fbb767fca\nSHA1: ad3698e81b80a61f960536413e1ec6d69167a4ee\nMD5sum: 3e7976a0874d1894cb6fb3222bd743f8\nDescription: Open Source Swift\n This is a packaged version of Open Source Swift 3.0 built from\n the following git revisions of the Apple Github repositories:\n       Clang:  968470f170\n        LLVM:  0e49d60410\n       Swift:  13f05f0094\n  Foundation:  2eccd197f2\nDescription-md5: b4a6698ebeacd64f3d3dff2b5698e9de\n<\/pre>\n
The source tree is untouched<\/i> for each build.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  Do you test the binaries before you upload them?
\nA.<\/b>  The Swift build process tests the resulting binaries, and I then do run some basic tests and compile my own applications, but there is currently no separate exhaustive test suite.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  Are you releasing builds on a set schedule?
\nA.<\/b>  Not really, though I may try to stay in sync with the releases from Apple.  The idea was to get something out for folks to experiment with and start coding Swift on Linux.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  Where is everything installed?
\nA.<\/b>  Everything gets put in \/opt\/swift\/swift-3.0\/usr<\/code>.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  How do I decipher the package version number?
\nA.<\/b>  This was my first take on what I thought should be an appropriate package version number.  Breaking it down, 3.0-0ubuntu2~trusty1<\/code> should be:<\/p>\n
