Installation and Setup
Installing Flutter:
To work on any Flutter Project, the Flutter SDK should be installed on your device.
The steps to set up the SDK differ according to the Operating System of your choice.
The above link helps you Install and Setup the SDK on Windows, MacOS, Linux or ChromeOS.
Set up IDE/ Editor:
To start editing or creating Flutter projects, it is a requirement to have an IDE or Editor.
The recommended ones are Android Studio or Visual Studio Code.
This Guide will follow on with Android Studio, but Visual Studio Code can also be used.
https://developer.android.com/studio, use this link to download the latest version of Android Studio.
Start Android Studio, and go through the ‘Android Studio Setup Wizard’. This installs the latest Android SDK, Android SDK Command-line Tools, and Android SDK Build-Tools, which are required by Flutter when developing for Android.
After having installed Android Studio, we will be needing some Plugins to help us in Flutter Development.
Open Plugin Preferences (Configure > Plugins); Select the Flutter Plugin and click Install.
You'll be prompted to install the Dart plugin, install that as well. Click Restart when prompted.
We've successfully set up Flutter on our machines, and our ready to work on Flutter projects.
