Step 1: Install Flutter SDK

1. Download Flutter SDK

2. Extract and Setup PATH

  • Extract the zip to a location, e.g., C:\src\flutter (Windows) or ~/flutter (macOS/Linux).
  • Add Flutter to your system PATH:

On Windows:

  1. Search for “Environment Variables” > Edit environment variables.
  2. Under User variables, select PATH > Edit.
  3. Add new entry: C:\src\flutter\bin (adjust path if different).
  4. Click OK to save.

On macOS/Linux:

  • Open terminal and add to ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.profile:
  export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/flutter/bin"

Step 2: Download and install JDK 23

Step 3: Android SDK and emulator

1: Download Command Line Tools

  1. Go to the Android Studio downloads page.
  2. Download the package for your OS:
    • Windows: commandlinetools-win.zip
    • Mac: commandlinetools-mac.zip
    • Linux: commandlinetools-linux.zip
  3. Extract the ZIP file to a directory of your choice, e.g., ~/android/cmdline-tools.

2: Set Up Environment Variables

Add the SDK cmdline-tools/bin directory to your PATH.

Example for Linux/macOS (add to .bashrc or .zshrc):

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/android
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/cmdline-tools/tools/bin

3: Install SDK Components

sdkmanager --sdk_root=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT "platform-tools" "emulator" "system-images;android-33;google_apis;x86_64" "platforms;android-33" "build-tools;33.0.0"

4: Create an Android Virtual Device

avdmanager create avd -n myEmulator -k "system-images;android-33;google_apis;x86_64" --device "pixel"

5: Launch the Emulator

emulator -avd myEmulator

4: Launch test app

run flutter clean and flutter run from root folder
