Answer 1

Do this to add flutter permanently to your path (in Ubuntu):

1. cd $HOME
2. gedit .bashrc
3. Append the line:

export PATH="$PATH:[location_where_you_extracted_flutter]/flutter/bin"

in the text file and save it.

4. source $HOME/.bashrc
5. Open new terminal and and run flutter doctor command

Answer 2

Do the following steps:

1. Download the Flutter SDK Flutter SDK Archive

2. Extract it where do you want (for example /home/development/flutter)

3. Set your PATH, edit your file with this command gedit ~/.profile, you need to add this line

export PATH=[location_where_you_extracted_flutter]/flutter/bin:$PATH

I showed you above where I've extracted mine, so my export will look like this

export PATH=/home/myUser/development/flutter/bin:$PATH

4. Save the file and close it.
5. Run source ~/.profile to load the changes
6. If you run now flutter doctor should work!

Answer 3

For Ubuntu 14.*

there is no .bash_profile file but it just a .profile in /home/mangesh

In my case,I am running this command to add flutter/bin path,

export PATH="$PATH:/home/mangesh/Documents/flutter_data/flutter/bin/"

To verify above change just run,

echo $PATH

Following is my complete output,

mangesh@Mangesh:~$ pwd
/home/mangesh

mangesh@Mangesh:~$ export PATH="$PATH:/home/mangesh/Documents/flutter_data/flutter/bin/"

mangesh@Mangesh:~$ echo $PATH

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/mangesh/Documents/flutter_data/flutter/bin/

Answer 4

Tried out all the above methods, but all of them lasted only until the terminal was open. So I went ahead and directly added it to the path file permanently.

sudo nano /etc/paths

add this to the file

/Users/yourUserName/Development/flutter/bin

Save the file, Tada!

On macOS Catalina ,The issue is with Path

1. Open Terminal & check the shell [command : echo $SHELL ],

If output is /bin/bash

We need to convert to Zsh. Zsh is only the default shell on newly created user accounts, so any existing accounts you have on an upgraded Mac will still use Bash by default unless you change it. simply run the chsh -s (change shell) command in a Terminal window.

[command : chsh -s /bin/zsh ]

Enter your password when prompted. After you close the terminal window and reopen it, you’ll be using Zsh.

2. Update your Path

2.1. Open the zshrc file [command : vim ~/.zshrc ]

2.2. Press 'I' to insert the path as [ export PATH=~/Dev/flutter/bin:$PATH ] ,here ~/Dev/ is the Folder where Flutter is installed

2.3. Hit ESC Key and then :wq to save and exit the file

3. Done ! try [command : flutter doctor ]
