Answer 1

The best way to setup Flutter on Mac

    1. Open a new terminal window
    2. Type: git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable
       Wait for the SDK to clone onto your machine
    3. Type: export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin", which adds flutter tool to your path
    4. Type: flutter doctor , which downloads additional dependencies

    Wait for dependencies to download and install

Answer 2

First, download the Flutter here: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/macos

When you created the folder with Flutter SDK, open it in Terminal using the following command:

cd ~/development

If there is no development folder run this command first:

mkdir /development

After that, you need to run the unzip command. Make sure you specify the correct path to the downloaded Flutter archive file. Run the command below:

unzip ~/Downloads/flutter_macos_1.17.1-stable.zip

Setting the Flutter tool path

In order to set up the Flutter tool path you should run this command:

export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin"

Next, you need to know which shell you are using. For this run this command:

echo $SHELL

Depending on the shell run the following command: [Note, the command you will be using depends on the shell you have.]

sudo nano ~/.zshrc

or

sudo nano /.bashrc 

After that in the new window, you need to add a path to the flutter tool.

Use the following command:

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

The next thing you need to do is to check the Flutter dependencies.

For this, run the command:

flutter doctor

This operation will help you to identify if there are any dependencies you need to install. After the results will be prepared click Agree and wait for the installation of the needed dependencies to complete the setup. enter image description here

Previously i was giving my whole path like this:

export PATH=Users/Tekion/Downloads/flutter/bin:$PATH

It started working after i changed my whole path to

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

Answer 4

Add Path in this way in .bashrc for Linux and for Mac .bash_profile of android sdk and tools with flutter

export PATH=$PATH:/user/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:/user/Android/Sdk/build-tools/27.0.1:/user/Android/Sdk/tools:/user/Android/Sdk/tools/bin:/user/Documents/fluterdev/flutter/bin:$PATH

Then run this command

On Linux

source ~/.profile

On Mac

source ~/.bash_profile or open -a TextEdit ~/.bash_profile

Then you can user any of flutter command like to build fluter apk

flutter build apk

Answer 5

On the mac I followed the steps of the user Tree but still received the answer "flutter: command not found". What I did next was, go to the folder flutter/bin and inside this folder ctrl+click on flutter executable and in the popup i clicked open. After that the mac already recognized this as an exception and the flutter commands already work.

if u meet this error in macOS, and install zsh, I am solved in this way

1. in .zshrc file
2. export path dont use ~/xxx/bin, use /xxx/xxx/xxxx/bin
