Install on macOS¶
To use Vapor on macOS, you just need to have Xcode 9.3 or greater installed.
Install Xcode¶
Install Xcode 9.3 or greater from the Mac App Store.
Warning
After Xcode has been downloaded, you must open it to finish the installation. This may take a while.
Verify Installation¶
Double check the installation was successful by opening Terminal and running:
swift --version
You should see output similar to:
Apple Swift version 4.1.0 (swiftlang-900.0.69.2 clang-900.0.38) Target: x86_64-apple-macosx10.9
Vapor requires Swift 4.1 or greater.
Install Vapor¶
Now that you have Swift 4.1, let's install the Vapor Toolbox.
The toolbox includes all of Vapor's dependencies as well as a handy CLI tool for creating new projects.
brew tap vapor/tap brew install vapor/tap/vapor
