Swiftly currently only support Linux and macOS. It could support the Windows platform too.

Some issues that we expect with Windows that might affect how Swiftly supports it:

  • Only a single toolchain can be installed at a time with the current installer
  • Symlinks work differently
  • C runtime downloads and configuration will require some investigation and may require user documentation for setup
  • Trust mechanisms of the binaries work differently

Only one development snapshot can be installed. However, in theory multiple toolchain releases can be installed in parallel (5.7+). The problem is in the runtime which is not versioned or ABI stable.
