How to install Vapor 2 for Xcode 8.2.1 with Swift 3.1

Question

What I am trying to do

I am following the guide to Install Vapor on macOS https://docs.vapor.codes/2.0/getting-started/install-on-macos/

Verify Swift Installation

eval "$(curl -sL check.vapor.sh)"

supported Vapor v 2

Add Homebrew Tap

brew tap vapor/homebrew-tap
brew update
brew install vapor

Vapor Toolbox: 3.1.4 is installed

My info:

iMac (24-inch, Early 2009)

OS X El Capitan - Version 10.11.6

Xcode Version 8.2.1 (8C1002)

Toolchain: Swift 3.1 RELEASE 2017-03-27 (a)

https://swift.org/builds/swift-3.1-release/xcode/swift-3.1-RELEASE/swift-3.1-RELEASE-osx.pkg

** UPDATE **

I cloned two repositories https://github.com/vapor/api-template (b6c7df2) and https://github.com/vapor/web-template (d206163)

Now I can create a Vapor v2 with Swift 3.1 projects like this:

API Template

vapor new ApiTemplate --template=https://github.com/ValeriyKliuk/vapor-2-api-template
cd ApiTemplate/
vapor xcode -y

WEB Template

vapor new WebTemplate --template=https://github.com/ValeriyKliuk/vapor-2-web-template
cd WebTemplate/
vapor xcode -y

Answer 1

There is a difference between the toolbox and the framework. The toolbox is the CLI tool that runs various commands, the framework is the thing you actually build against. If you do vapor new MyProject that will create a Vapor 2 project

(Note - I'm pretty sure that Vapor 2 requires Swift 3.1)
