How to install Flutter on a MacBook

I'm going to use Flutter for the first time and dive into the world of mobile development 📱.

(As usual) I had some issues installing Flutter on my MacBook 🙄. So I reset my MacBook, which was long overdue, and set up the technical environment from scratch, using the package manager from the beginning.

And I'm glad I did. Finally the installations are running smooth as butter 🧈.

Environment

Installation process

After installing Flutter, by running the command

brew install --cask flutter,

everything worked smoothly. I then run

flutter doctor,

which provided instruction on how to move further.

Here are the commands I ran:

• sudo softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license

• brew install --cask android-studio

• sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

• sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

• brew install cocoapods

• xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS

• path/to/sdkmanager --install "cmdline-tools;latest"

• flutter doctor --android-licenses

• flutter config --android-sdk

Now, when running flutter doctor again, everything is setup.

Thanks for your reading and time. I really appreciate it.
