Here are the steps to install Flutter on Mac:
- Download Flutter: Go to the Flutter website (https://flutter.dev/) and click the “Get started” button. Select the macOS operating system and click on the “Download Flutter SDK” button to download the Flutter SDK.
- Extract the Flutter SDK: Extract the downloaded Flutter zip file to a location of your choice. For simplicity, you can extract it to the /Users/<your-username>/development/flutter directory.
- Update your Path: To run Flutter commands from the console, you need to update your PATH environment variable. Open the Terminal app and type the following command: sudo nano /etc/paths. Enter your password if prompted. This will open the nano text editor. Add a new line at the bottom of the file and enter the path to the Flutter bin directory. For example, if you extracted the Flutter SDK to /Users/<your-username>/development/flutter, you would add the following path to the PATH variable: /Users/<your-username>/development/flutter/bin. Press Ctrl+O to save the file and Ctrl+X from exiting the nano editor.
- Install Xcode: To use Flutter, you also need to install Xcode, which is Apple’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for building iOS apps. Go to the App Store on your Mac and search for Xcode. Click on the “Get” button to download and install Xcode.
- Install Flutter and Dart plugins: Open Android Studio and go to Preferences > Plugins. Select the “Marketplace” tab and search for “Flutter” and “Dart” plugins. Click on each plugin’s “Install” button and follow the instructions to install them.
- Run Flutter doctor: Open a terminal window and run the following command to check if Flutter is installed correctly: flutter doctor. The command will check for any missing dependencies and provide installation instructions.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Flutter on your Mac. You can now start building your first Flutter app.
