Installing Flutter into your development environment
Before diving into Flutter development, you’ll need to set up your development environment to ensure a smooth and efficient workflow. This involves installing the Flutter SDK, setting up an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Visual Studio Code or Android Studio, and configuring Flutter for your specific development environment.
Installing Flutter SDK
The first step is to download the Flutter SDK from the official Flutter website (https://flutter.dev/). Flutter provides installers for various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Choose the appropriate installer for your platform and follow the instructions to download the Flutter SDK.
Linux: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/linux/android
Windows: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/windows/mobile
MacOS: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/macos/mobile-android
At the time of writing, I’m using Linux (Ubuntu) and am mainly interested in Android development, as I own a phone running Android.
When everything is installed you can verify the installation by running
flutter doctor
