Install on macOS
To use Vapor on macOS, you will need Swift 5.1 or greater. Swift and all of its dependencies come bundled with Xcode.
Install Xcode
Install Xcode 11 or greater from the Mac App Store.
After Xcode has been downloaded, you must open it to finish the installation. This may take a while.
Double check the installation was successful by opening Terminal and printing Swift's version.
swift --version
You should see Swift's version information printed.
Apple Swift version 5.1 (swiftlang-1100.0.270.13 clang-1100.0.33.7)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.0.0
Vapor 4 requires Swift 5.1 or greater.
Install Toolbox
Now that you have Swift installed, let's install the Vapor Toolbox. This CLI tool is not required to use Vapor but it includes helpful utilities like a new project creator.
Toolbox is distributed via Homebrew. If you don't have Homebrew yet, visit brew.sh for install instructions.
brew install vapor/tap/vapor-beta
Double check the installation was successful by printing help.
vapor-beta --help
You should see a list of available commands.

Now that you have installed Swift and Vapor Toolbox, create your first app in Getting Started → Hello, world.
