Command Line Tools

You must have Xcode 8 installed and selected or you will get the following error:

Select Xcode 8

Run the following code to select Xcode 8 in the command line.

If you installed the Xcode 8 beta in a different location, you will need to modify the above command with the proper path. Note that installing Xcode 8 in an abnormal path could create issues.

Verify

Verify that you are ready to start using Vapor by running the following commands.

The output must contain Xcode 8.0.

Additionally, double check to make sure the Swift version is 3.0.

swift --version

# Apple Swift version 3.0 (swiftlang-800.0.33.1 clang-800.0.31)
