Installation

IDE choice

My recommended IDE for Dart is modifying the text editor VSCode with Dart and Flutter extensions:

  • dart-code.dart-code
  • dart-code.flutter
  • alexisvt.flutter-snippets

Installation guide

  1. Ensure VSCode, the extensions, and git is installed and updated.
  2. Launch VSCode and open command palette (crtl+shift+P)
  3. With the dart-code.flutter installed, typing flutter in command palette shows a command of Flutter: New Project.
  4. VSCode will now prompt you to locate your Flutter SDK, select Download SDK which automatically installs the Flutter SDK and adds to PATH, Remember to choose a location that doesnt require elevated priviledges.
  5. Now type flutter doctor in the terminal and resolve any missing SDK or packages
    1. I would recommend installing android sdk from android studio
    2. I would also recommend installing Visual Studio if windows development is needed.
    3. If the developement platform is Windows, the path may not have added correctly, include the android sdk, dart sdk and flutter sdk in path.
