Install flutter on MacOS
I blog so I don’t forget … this:
First, the non-CLI actions:
- install XCode from the App Store
- install Flutter plugin for Visual Studio Code (if you haven’t installed VS Code, do it now, you can also use “brew” for that)
- download the latest Flutter SDK, unzip it, and move the unzipped
flutter/
folder to$HOME/Dev/frameworks
(or any other location you favor) - add
$HOME/Dev/flutter/bin
and$HOME/Dev/flutter/bin/.pub-cache/bin
to your path
That’s about it for now. Then do some CLI magic:
brew tap dart-lang/dart
brew install dart android-studio android-sdk
sudo gem install cocoapods
pod setup
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
flutter doctor --android-licenses
After that some more UI stuff:
- Start Android Studio. It will want to install a couple of things (Intel drivers pop up, weirdly)
And finally: A final flutter doctor
will tell you if everything is all right.
The whole process will download about 10-12 GB of data.
