Flutter

A couple of days ago, I was thinking of learning to flutter because of market requirements. But I find it too easy and fast to develop in comparison to native mobile development, and it supports multi-platforms like Chrome, MacOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iPhone. Dart programming language is very easy, and as I experience, it’s syntax is mixed between Java and Kolitin. It’s made the development easy and enchanting. In this blog, I am going to explain how to install Flutter and some of its command sothat a new bird can start development.?

1. How to install Flutter in Mac OS for Android development.?

Android Studio Git must be installed on your Macbook, then download Flutter as per your device processor. We have different installers for the Intel processor and different installers for the Apple Silicon Chip.?

Please check download link?

https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/macos/mobile-android?tab=download

After downloading, run the following command:

unzip ~/Downloads/flutter_macos_arm64_3.22.2-stable.zip \

???????-d ~/development/

?

This will unzip SDK to the development directory of your system root directory, now you have to set the SDK path.?

Open the editor ? and type the following command?

export PATH=$HOME/development/flutter/bin:$PATH

And save it to the root directory of your os, with the name?

.zshenv

Now installation is done.?

2. Command used in flutter development

A) Project Creation and Management:

flutter create my_app: Creates a new Flutter project named "my_app".
