-
This is a simple guideline to follow to initialize your PC for the beautiful design application Flutter which developed by Google Engineers💪.

ONE CODEBASE for both Android and IOS platforms 📱

What you'll use?

You need two application software/SDK to develop this beautiful app
  • Android Studio/Visual Studio code editor
  • Flutter SDK
Note: In this section, I'm going to use Visual Studio code editor because of its simple and lightweight application compare to the Android Studio.

Visual Studio Code editor:

  Visual Studio Code editor is a well-redefined editor tool, download ( https://code.visualstudio.com/ ) , and installs the software. finally, Install the below packages in Visual Studio Code editor extension to make the editor recognize your flutter code and Dart language.

Android Studio:


   We need to install Android Studio software from https://developer.android.com/studio which has the required supporting packages that need when we develop our flutter application.

Note: Android Studio is a CPU power consumption software, at least you need 12gb RAM+SSD or Macbook laptop to run the application smoothly.


Flutter SDK


   The final thing which we need to develop our flutter application is Flutter SDK. Before that, we need to install Git for the window from the following website: https://git-scm.com/download/win page download and install the software based on the Platform need.

 Once Git installed in your PC go to https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows page check the System requirement which meets your system. 

Flutter SDK System Requirement


Download the Flutter stable version and extract the zip file in your C Drive Path below.

C:\src\flutter

Instead of downloading the Zip file, you can also use Git command like below to download the flutter SDK in your C drive.

git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable


Our Flutter environment is finally ready.

Final Step

To check everything on the right place, Run command in your CMD prompt:  flutter doctor 



Note: Since I'm using Visual Studio Code, Flutter and Dart plugin not installed in Android Studio. Do not worry, installing the extension in the visual studio the application works perfectly.
