Requirement
Memory
At least have around 10 GB free on your laptop if not more so you will have a smooth experience in setting up and developing
OS
You should be running at least Mac OS 10 (Mojave) if you want IOS app to be testing in a physical device that running in the latest version of iOS
It also works with a lower version of Mac OS(High Sierra)
Let’s get Started
Go to website https://flutter.dev/
You will be now in a page looks something like this 👇
Chose macOS from this and start downloading flutter SDK by clicking here 👇
When the download is done, you will be able to find the file in your download folder
Extract this ZIP file and you will get a folder with name “flutter”
Its import that to move this flutter folder out of the download folder into somewhere permanent. The ideal place to put it under your username may be in a User folder
So I created a folder and named “Developer” under the user folder
I moved the “flutter” folder from download folder to a new folder
Okay That's done
Now note down the path of the flutter folder.In my case, it is /Users/fegnotechnologies/Developer/flutter
Now let's move to terminal
Press Command and Spacebar
Type “terminal“ in the spotlight search
And press return
A terminal will be open up
Create or Open rc file
You have to edit $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc if you are not using macOS Catalina
If your OS version is macOS Catalina, then you have to edit $HOME/.zshrc or else
How do we edit??
Use vim command to open the file
So in the terminal that we opened
If you are not using macOS Catalina, enter
OR
If you are using macOS Catalina
Now we have the rc file opened up press “i” to edit it
Enter this 👇 in it
export PATH=”$PATH:[PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/flutter/bin”
In my case, it will be like this 👇
export PATH=”$PATH:/Users/fegnotechnologies/Developer/flutter/bin”
Now press “esc” key then enter “:wq!” And press return this will save the file (Crazy vim editor)
It’s done ???
Yeas it is. Let’s check …
Just close the terminal and open it again
Enter the command “flutter — version”
Yes it’s done
