Quickstart

​

Install Swift

To use Alchemy, you’ll first need to make sure Swift is installed.

curl -L https://swiftlang.github.io/swiftly/swiftly-install.sh | bash

​

Create a Project

Once that’s finished, create a new project using the create Alchemy app script.

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alchemy-swift/examples/main/create-alchemy-app.sh)

​

Run the App

Finally, run your app and visit localhost:3000 in the browser.

cd {project-name}
swift run app # hang tight, the first build takes a moment

​

Setup your Editor

There are two main editor options for writing Swift - Xcode and Visual Studio Code. Here are some helpful tips for you to get set up with either.
