In your position, I’d go to the Downloads part of Swift.org <http://swift.org/> and fetch the latest build of the Swift 4 toolchain for Mac. (It’s still in flux, but it’ll probably be promoted to latest/stable this month.) Install the toolchain. This adds a Toolchains tab to the Components section of the Preferences window. Select Swift 4.0 Snapshot. That should do for you, but I don’t have exactly your hardware and OS. When you say you “couldn’t install Xcode 9 and Swift 4,” you may mean that you couldn’t install Swift 4 even separately. — F
