This is my very first question in this forum. Sorry for my bad english, please advise if it is not the right place to do it.
I've tried to install Swift for Ubuntu 19.04 on Termux App for Android following the answer of another question in this Forum: (How can I install Swift on Ubuntu 19.04?).
The reason is to continue compiling code offline while I'm in a plane or without internet connection. The steps followed are shown below (in short):
1- Since there is no way to install Swift for Ubuntu 19.04 I downloaded this file for version 18.04 as recommended (swift-4.2-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2018-10-30-a-ubuntu18.04.tar.gz).
2- Extracted the file and copied the folder to home directory in order to run locally.
3- Added the path to Swift with the following command which didn't work:
$ export PATH="/home/your-username/swift/swift-4.2-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2018-10-30-a-ubuntu18.04/usr/bin:$PATH"
$ source ~/.bashrc
4-Then I made amendments found in the web in order to write .bashrc:
$ echo "export PATH=/home/myusername/swift/swift-4.2-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2018-10-30-a-ubuntu18.04/usr/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
5-The output writed in the end of .bashrc file was this:
export PATH=/home/user-name/swift/swift-4.2-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2018-10-30-a-ubuntu18.04/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
6- Then I tried to run Swift in terminal and I got this error message:
$ swift
bash: swift: command not found
For me it seems that the echo command appended the swift-4.2.../usr/bin path along with the others PATHs already set up in Ubuntu's Termux separate by collon, yet it doesn't allow me to call Swift REPL from Terminal.
Please help, thanks

About PRoot package for Termux:
Package: proot
Description: Emulate chroot, bind mount and binfmt_misc for non-root users
Homepages: https://proot-me.github.io
https://github.com/proot-me/PRoot
PRoot is a user-space implementation of chroot, mount --bind, and binfmt_misc. This means that users don't need any privileges or setup to do things like using an arbitrary directory as the new root filesystem. The benefits of enabling PRoot include running Linux operating systems in a Termux chroot on an Android smartphone and tablet, and Chromebook.Ubuntu distribution installed (source: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Ubuntu):

Is there a way to emulate it with Qemu? If yes, can you guide me?
Thanks
