Install Swift Version Manager

$ git clone https://github.com/kylef/swiftenv.git ~/.swiftenv

$ echo 'export SWIFTENV_ROOT="$HOME/.swiftenv"' >> ~/.bash_profile $ echo 'export PATH="$SWIFTENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile $ echo 'eval "$(swiftenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Install Swift 3.0

$ swiftenv install 3.0

Initialize Your Project

$ mkdir HelloWorld $ cd HelloWorld

$ swift package init --type executable Creating executable package: HelloWorld Creating Package.swift Creating Sources/ Creating Sources/main.swift Creating Tests/

Add Vapor to your Package.swift

import PackageDescription

let package = Package( name: "HelloWorld", dependencies: [ .Package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/vapor.git", majorVersion: 1) ] )

Open in Xcode

$ swift package generate-xcodeproj $ open HelloWorld.xcodeproj

Code!

Let’s Run This!

Now…to deploy to the web!

Now…to deploy to the web!$ git init $ heroku create

$ heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/kylef/heroku-buildpack-swift $ echo 'web: HelloWorld --config:servers.default.port=$PORT' >> Procfile
