To use it follow these simple instructions in a terminal. This is assuming you already have Xcode6 installed.
-
$ sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode6-Beta2.app/Contents/Developer/
Change the path to point to the version of Xcode you have installed -
$ xcrun swift
-

$ var a = "hello" $ println(a)
Happy REPL-ing!
