# Manual Quickstart
Learn how to create a Vapor project _without_ the Toolbox using just Swift 3 and the Swift Package Manager.
This document assumes that you have Swift 3.1 installed.
!!! tip
If you'd prefer to use the Toolbox, follow the toolbox guide [here](hello-world.md).
## Make new project using SwiftPM
Open your terminal
!!! note
For our example, we'll be using the Desktop folder.
```bash
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir Hello
cd Hello
swift package init --type executable
```
Your folder should look like this:
```
├── Package.swift
├── Sources
│   └── main.swift
└── Tests
```
### Edit `Package.swift`
Open your `Package.swift` file:
```bash
open Package.swift
```
And add Vapor as a dependency. Here's how your file will look.
### Package.swift
```swift
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "Hello",
dependencies: [
.Package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/vapor.git", majorVersion: 2)
]
)
```
!!! warning
We try to keep this document up to date, however, you can view latest releases [here](https://github.com/vapor/vapor/releases).
### Edit `main.swift`
A simple hello world:
```swift
import Vapor
let drop = Droplet()
drop.get("hello") { req in
return "Hello Vapor"
}
drop.run()
```
## Compile & Run
The first `build` command can take a while to fetch dependencies.
```bash
swift build
.build/debug/Hello serve
```
!!! warning
If different, replace `Hello` above with the name of your executable (as defined in `Package.swift`).
### Production
Compiling in Swift's release mode and setting Vapor's environment to production will make your app more secure and performant.
```sh
swift build --configuration release
.build/release/Hello serve --env=production
```
