改用7z来解压，设置可执行权限。
rm -rf swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-03-24-a-ubuntu14.04 apt-get install p7zip-full 7z x swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-03-24-a-ubuntu14.04.tar.gz 7z x swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-03-24-a-ubuntu14.04.tar rm swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-03-24-a-ubuntu14.04.tar chmod +x /root/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-03-24-a-ubuntu14.04/usr/bin/*
4. 配置环境变量，编辑 ~/.bashrc 文件，结尾加入
export PATH=/root/swift-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-03-24-a-ubuntu14.04/usr/bin:"${PATH}"
5. 重新载入配置，查看结果：
root@localhost:~# source ~/.bashrc root@localhost:~# swift --version Swift version 3.0-dev (LLVM b010debd0e, Clang 3e4d01d89b, Swift 7182c58cb2) Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu root@localhost:~#
6. 目前仍不能进入REPL环境或者编译swift文件。
编译错误：
<unknown>:0: error: could not load the swift standard library
