Getting Started with Swift on Windows

One can build and run Swift natively or through the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Native Windows

Currently there are two supported ways to build Swift for Windows.

To cross-compile Swift for Windows from another host operating system (using clang), see Cross Compiling for Windows
To build on Windows using Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC), see Building on Windows

Windows Subsystem for Linux is an Ubuntu environment. Follow the instructions for building on Linux
