--- title: Install Swift - Windows framework: swift-org role: article path: swift-org/install/windows --- # Install Swift - Windows Install Swift [Linux](/docs/swift-org/install/linux/) [macOS](/docs/swift-org/install/macos/) [Windows](/docs/swift-org/install/windows/) ### 1. Install Swift via WinGet Install Swift via the Windows Package Manager (also known as WinGet). First, install Windows platform dependencies: ``` winget install --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community --exact --force --custom "--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22621 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.ARM64" --source winget ``` Next, install Swift and other dependencies: ``` winget install --id Swift.Toolchain -e --source winget ``` [Additional details included in Instructions](https://swift.org/install/windows/winget/) ### 2. Select an Editor ## Visual Studio Code Visual Studio Code is a cross-platform and extensible editor that supports Swift through the Swift extension, which provides intelligent editor functionality as well as debugging and test support. [Install Swift extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=swiftlang.swift-vscode) [Documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/swift) ## Other editors Any editor that supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP) can use SourceKit-LSP to provide intelligent editor functionality for Swift. [Learn more](https://www.swift.org/tools/#editors) ### 3. Build a Command-line Tool Let’s write a small application with your new Swift development environment. Create a directory: ``` mkdir MyCLI ``` Change the directory: ``` cd MyCLI ``` Create a new project: ``` swift package init --name MyCLI --type executable ``` Run the program with ``` swift run MyCLI ``` You can continue to expand the program with additional features. Check out the getting started guide for command line tools.
