I am a noob too and I got Swift to compile on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using the following command from the swift/utils directory:
./build-script --preset=buildbot_linux_1604 install_destdir=/tmp/install installable_package=/tmp/swift.tar.gz And then running swift with: /tmp/install/bin/swift my_code.swift Hope this helps! -Mohit
