git (optional) to obtain the source

Once you have Java and Maven setup, you can build Swift as follows:

Get Swift from github

git clone git://github.com/romanzenka/swift.git

Create swift-$VER-install.tar.gz

cd swift
mvn install -DskipTests
cd swift/installer/target
ls
# You should see swift-$VER-install.tar.gz

If you want to run all the unit tests, feel free to omit the -DskipTests clause!

Congratulations!

You are ready to install Swift.
