How to Quick-Start With Swift Programming on Debian Stretch 9

Swift Programming Quick Start for Debian Stretch 9

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install Swift Compiler and Getting-Started with Swift Programming on Debian Stretch 9 GNU/Linux.

And the Swift Debian Stretch Release includes: Compiler, Lldb, and related Tools.

Moreover, Swift is a Programming Language for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps that builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C compatibility.

Then Swift‘s Clean Slate, Backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch Frameworks, is an opportunity to Reimagine how Software Development works.

Again, the Swift Compiler is principally responsible for translating Swift source code into efficient, executable machine code.

However, the Swift Compiler Front-End also Supports a number of other Tools, including IDE integration with Syntax Coloring, Code Completion, and other conveniences.

1. Open a Shell Terminal emulator window
   (Press “Enter” to Execute Commands)

   And then Set the SuperUser as Owner:

   chown -R root:root /opt/swift

   Furthermore, import the GPG Key:

   wget -q -O - https://swift.org/keys/all-keys.asc | sudo gpg --import -

6. Amending the User PATH.

   echo 'export PATH=/opt/swift/usr/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

   ReLoad the PATH simply with:
