This is the 8th day of my participation in the November Gwen Challenge. Check out the event details: The last Gwen Challenge 2021
Hello everyone, I’m Nuts, the public account “Nut Front”
Today we bring you the installation of Flutter
Before I introduce myself, please allow me to introduce myself. I am currently the CHIEF Experience Officer of 51CTO blog, focusing on the sharing of big front-end technologies, including Flutter, applets, Android, VUE and JavaScript. Etc.
What is the Flutter
Flutter is an open source software development kit (SDK) designed to “help developers efficiently build beautiful multi-platform applications that support mobile, Web, desktop and embedded platforms from a single code base”. Allow cross-platform development. This can save your company and your team a lot of time and effort.
So what exactly does that mean? Let’s say we have a developer who has created an amazing application and people love it. However, the app is only supported on Android. As a result, developers decided to spend a lot of time learning IOS to enable more users to use their applications. Even after learning how to build IOS apps, they realized that their app had to support all types of IOS devices, and that adapting to each of them would leave them bald. Solve these problems. It can be solved by simply introducing Flutter, which is where Flutter comes in. So let’s start the body
Install the Flutter in Windows
Windows Requirements
To install and run Flutter on a Windows system, you first need to meet these requirements of your development environment.
| The operating system | Windows 7 or later (I’m Windows 10. You can also use a Mac or Linux operating system. . |
|---|---|
| Disk space | 400 MB (not including disk space for IDE/ tools). |
| tool | Git for Windows 2.x (here, use Git from the Windows command prompt option). |
| Development kit | Flutter SDK for Windows |
| Integrated development environment | Android Studio (official), Vscode |
Install the Flutter SDK
Step 1 Download the Install package of Flutter Software Development Kit for Windows. To download the Flutter SDK, visit its official website and click the Get Started button. You will see the screen below.
Step 2 Next, to download the latest Flutter SDK, click the Windows icon. Here, you’ll find a download link for the SDK.
After the step 3 download is complete, unzip the ZIP file and place it in the desired installation folder or location, for example, D:\ FVM \versions\2.5.1.
Pay attention toThe Flutter SDK should not be placed where administrator permissions are required.
Step 4 To run the Flutter command on the regular Windows console, you need to update the system path to include the Flutter bin directory. To perform this operation, perform the following steps:
Step 4.1 Go to MyComputer properties -> Advanced TAB -> Environment Variables. You will see the following screen.
Mine is 2.5.1. I don’t want to upgrade. Everyone is using 2.5.3
Step 4.2: -> click on edit. The following screen appears.
Step 4.3 In the window above, click New > Variable values to create the write path of the Flutter bin folder > OK > OK.
Step 5 Now run the $flutter doctor command. This command checks all requirements for Flutter application development and displays a Flutter installation status report.
Step 6 When you run the command above, it will analyze the system and display its report, as shown below. Here you will find details of all the missing tools needed to run Flutter, as well as development tools available but not connected to the device.
The next section will teach you how to install android studio and vscode
