How can I install firebase to my flutter-project with Firebase-CLI?
https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup?platform=android
->
I installed Firebase CLI.
When i try:
firebase login
I'm able to login, but after the next step:
dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
it says:
Quote: "Warning: Pub installs executables into
C:\Users\mynick\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin, which is not on your
path.
You can fix that by adding that directory to your system's "Path"
environment variable.
A web search for "configure windows path" will show you how.
Activated flutterfire_cli 0.2.7."
-> Unfortunatelly, I don't get it. How can I fix this? thx! :)

So i was trying to use firebase for my flutter backend. When i tried to enter the command "dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli" the cmd Suddenly close itself.
I tried to open the cmd as an administrator and run the command but it it still close itself.
Note: I already install the Firebase CLI via npm.
please help :(
Don't heve install Git to your system. Try instal git.
I'm trying to install flutterfire_cli in my root project, so I typed this command:
FirebaseFirestore firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance;
so after that, this is the output of my console:
PS C:\Users\PC\Desktop\eventually> dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
Package flutterfire_cli is currently active at version 0.1.1+2.
Resolving dependencies...
The package flutterfire_cli is already activated at newest available version.
To recompile executables, first run `global deactivate flutterfire_cli`.
Installed executable flutterfire.
Warning: Pub installs executables into C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin, which is not on your path.
You can fix that by adding that directory to your system's "Path" environment variable.
A web search for "configure windows path" will show you how.
Activated flutterfire_cli 0.1.1+2.
To fix the warning I added C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin to my Path in system variables environnement. (but it does not work, I'm still getting the warning)
Next, I'm trying to generate the firebase_options.dart file as the documentation says using this command:
flutterfire configure
But I'm getting an error in the console:
PS C:\Users\PC\Desktop\eventually> flutterfire configure
flutterfire : The term 'flutterfire' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ flutterfire configure
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (flutterfire:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Could anyone tell me what I am missing, why I am getting this error even if the Firebase CLI already installed on my machine?
Go through this doc very carefully: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/cli/
Step 1: Install Firebase CLI
Step 2: Install FlutterFire CLI with this command dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
While doing this you must notice the following warning
Warning: Pub installs executables into C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin, which is not on your path. You can fix that by adding that directory to your system's "Path" environment variable. A web search for "configure windows path" will show you how.
This means you need to add C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin into your System's environment path.
Step 3: Now flutterfire configure should work.
If still not working play with Firebase commands
For Mac -> Execute this command:
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
Three 3 steps for getting it work on Windows:
Run this command:
dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
Type env into Windows search and open Edit the system environment variables --> Environment variables --> System variables( the one on the bottom of the window) --> Double click on Path --> New and enter this:
C:\Users\PutHereYourUsername\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin
flutterfire configure command should work now - close and open again command prompt or other terminal. Sometimes there is a problem with other editors and terminals where flutterfire configure still does not work. In that case open Command Prompt and it works there for sure.
As for me, I have done everything correctly and the command works if I run in the Windows command prompt, but it fails to work if I type the command inside the VS code terminal.
So I just killed the terminal and opened it again, then it works.
Or, you can try restarting your machine.
Even after adding C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin to the path for me flutterfire would not work from the command line, the reason being that it actually instally a flutterfire.bat file.
So I use flutterfire.bat in the command line as of now and that is working.
For Linux/Ubuntu run this command in the terminal,
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
Which you will also notice in the terminal when you run the command ↓.
dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
Make sure you are your project directory
run this export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"
For Linux/Ubuntu you should do the following:
Open your .bashrc file using the command "sudo nano ~/.bashrc"
Add export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin" to the end of the file.
Final you can source the file using "source ~/.bashrc"
It should now be able to recognize the file.
for macOS Monterey edit ~/.zprofile instead .zshrc
This was the hack i used to solve mine. I copied and pasted the C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache\bin in my folder search bar to enter the folder, note I could not find any folder called AppData, but when I pasted it on the folder search it did take me to the bin folder.
In the bin folder, you will find a file called flutterfire.bat. Copy and paste the flutterfire.bat file in the root of your project and then run the .\flutterfire configure command. Please do note the dot (.) and forward-slash (\). You need to add it to work.
for mac m1 , add
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin" at the top of users/username/.profile , works on (monterey)
For me, even after I installed everything correctly, restarting my IDE(VSCode) did the trick.
Flutter command not found
Here is very easy instructions for adding something to your path on Mac, It solved my issues with Flutter and Flutterfire.
The export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin" did not work on my Debian machine!
I removed the first line #!/usr/bin/env sh from $HOME/.pub-cache/bin/flutterfire file and the flutterfire command worked properly.
Use command prompt.. not the vsc terminal
if you followed the right answer and still not working, you need to restart your computer
Whenever I create the Create new Flutter Project in android studio,
It's always throwing out this error: Please help.
Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/Users/<usrname>/AndroidStudioProjects/inventory_system". pub get failed (66; Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in "/Users/<usrname>/AndroidStudioProjects/inventory_system".)
First of all make sure your flutter is properly installed on your system. Faced the same issue. Try checking your installation and make sure everything is installed properly. Use this link: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install
Just uninstall android as well as flutter. Try installing them again. First download and install Flutter. Then download and install Android Studio. Follow the proper installation process. I guess your issue is because of the unproper installation.
After flutter installation, open the folder where you have installed it, and open the file flutter_console which is a batch . It will open a console and then type:
flutter doctor
This will show you whether all the installation is properly carried out or not. But a better way is to perform proper installation.
Also you need to set environment variable after the installation.
Here is what happened with me when I installed flutter and android. This is just to show you the issue I had faced after installation
I then followed what was been said as error and got my flutter and android studio working.
Open the terminal.
Create the folder for your project by typing the command:
mkdir my_awesome_project
Navigate to the created folder:
cd my_awesome_project
In the folder type the command for project creation:
flutter create myawesomeproject
Open the AndroidStudio and then open the created folder.
Now you are ready to run and develop your app.
the easiest and simplest way to create new flutter project is to add flutter plugin to android studio/vs code and selecting SDK dir and then you can simply create new flutter project by clicking on buttons
and you can check flutter official guide
I have been working with flutter for a week now and it runs okay, however I can't use commands such as flutter doctor or flutter upgrade on my terminal nor Android studio. Whenever I try to run a flutter command I get
zsh: permission denied: /Users/name/flutter/bin.
I tried adding the source to nano ~/.zshrc and export PATH, but nothing worked.
I faced this issue when setting up Flutter on my new mac, even after setting the PATH correctly. Turns out i installed the wrong SDK (Window). So make sure to install the correct Flutter SDK on your respective OS.
For MacOS :
https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/sdk/releases?tab=macos
For Window :
https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/sdk/releases?tab=windows
Make sure you've installed the correct SDK for your machine. For me I had installed Flutter's Windows SDK on my Mac machine.
For macOS : https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/sdk/releases?tab=macos
For Window: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/sdk/releases?tab=windows
If you added the path and sure that you have downloaded the correct os files and still get the error:
Go to flutter folder
Empty folder
Open terminal and go to the flutter folder
git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable
Run below command in the terminal, it worked for me
export PATH="/<full-path-of-flutter-folder>/bin:$PATH"
add the sudo prefix to your command. I guess you are not the admin.
eg: sudo flutter doctor
I'm trying to install Flutter on my Windows 8 computer. I unzipped files to C:/flutter and added the bin folder to the path variable. However I am stuck on the step where I have to run flutter doctor in flutter_console. The Flutter doctor hangs and only shows the blinking cursor and no output. More interestingly any other flutter command will freeze the exact same way.
I have already tried
Running flutter console as admin
Reinstalling flutter
Installing the dev version
Use the VS code plugin to run flutter doctor
But they all led to the same result
So the solution of this issue is:
delete folder in your flutter SDK path flutter/bin/cache (detail info here)
run flutter doctor -v again will trigger downloading Dart SDK
PS: if your network is slow because of in china, check bellow:
Do things bellow in terminal maybe speed up your the download speed (for me it's speed up 3x) for changing channel:
export FLUTTER_STORAGE_BASE_URL=https://storage.flutter-io.cn (detail info here)
flutter channel stable (one example of change flutter channel)
flutter doctor -v (trigger downloading SDK)
Albeith in win10, these steps solved the issue for me (do not know if all are necessary)
restart win
run cmd as administrator
flutter doctor
According to this git issue, this is mostly caused by installing flutter in a directory for which you do not own the priviledges. For example, the Program Files folder: to solve then, you can try to move the installation folder
Problem
I had the same problem while trying to reinstall flutter using the recommended windows install guide found here https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/windows
(flutter_windows_3.3.9-stable).
All flutter commands would hang and only show the flashing cursor. It did not matter if I was in the flutter console, PowerShell, VS Code terminal or Admin Command prompt.
This made running flutter doctor impossible, and thus I couldn't complete the flutter setup.
Environment
I am using a PC running Windows 10.
I am located in North America. (If you are in China, you may need to use a proxy server for the initial download).
Flutter was installed on a drive with ample free space in a non-restricted folder.
I have a stable internet connection.
I have git for windows installed and have set up my ssh keys. (you can download and install this form here https://git-scm.com/download/win).
I have my Windows Firewall and network protection on. (You may need to turn off third party firewalls or add a rule to them allowing flutter to make connections to the internet during the flutter setup).
Solution
This solution worked for me and should resolve most install problems related to installing flutter on a Windows environment.
Please upvote if it works for you.
Step 0 - Remove flutter from system:
If reinstalling flutter, do this step, otherwise move to step 1 if preforming a fresh installation.
Open file explorer and delete the folder titled flutter if already installed.
Type environment variables into the windows search bar and open Edit the system environment variables.
Click environment variables in the Advanced tab.
Double-click the word Path found under User variables for {YOUR USER NAME}.
Select any entries that end with \flutter or \flutter\bin and delete them.
Click the Ok button and then the Ok button to apply the changes.
Step 1 - Download Stable Flutter Version:
Go to the official flutter website https://docs.flutter.dev/development/tools/sdk/releases and download the most recent flutter version in the Stable channel (Windows).
Once downloaded, unzip the folder.
Place the flutter folder found inside the Zip file wherever you would like to store it on your computer. Flutter recommend putting it in C:\src\flutter. You can place it where've you like as long as It's not in a folder that requires elevated privileges to access, such as the C:\Program Files\ folder.
Note* I used Windows Explorer to unzip the file, however others report used 7-Zip file Manager for unzipping solved their problem.
Step 2 - Setup Environment Variables:
Type environment variables into the windows search bar and open Edit the system environment variables.
Click environment variables in the Advanced tab.
Double-click the word Path found under User variables for {YOUR USER_NAME}.
Click Browse... and navigate to where you placed the flutter folder. Then navigate to the bin file inside the flutter folder and click ok.
A new environment variable should have been added that looks like C:\src\flutter\bin.
You also need to make sure Git\bin\cmd, Git\bin\git.exe and, C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ system environment paths are setup. These were post likely configured during your git for windows install.
Follow the "Update your path section" found here https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/windows if this doesn't work for you.
Note* If Path doesn't exist, click new... and set variable name to Path and Variable value to the file path of your bin folder found in the flutter folder you just unzipped.
Step 3 - Reboot your computer in Safe Mode with Networking:
Press the Windows key + I on the keyboard to open Settings, or type settings in the windows search bar.
Click Update & Security and on the left pane select Recovery.
Under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
After the computer restarts, on the Choose an Option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
After the computer restarts, a list of options appears. Select 5 or F5 for Safe Mode with Networking or whatever key your computer says to boot into Safe Mode with Networking.
Step 4 - Launch Administrator Command Prompt:
After rebooting, type command prompt into the windows search bar.
Right-click the application icon and click Run as administartor.
Run the following commands, flutter pub cache repair then flutter doctor -v. This might take quite some time if you have poor internet, as it will re-downloads every package in the cache.
If flutter doctor reports any red or yellow warnings with your environment, you need to resolve these first before continuing. These are quite common, and a Google search of the error or warning should solve your problem.
Note* if the command flutter is unrecognized, this means you didn't set up your environment path variables in step 2 correctly.
Step 5 - Reboot and run your project
Now that flutter doctor has run in safe mode, we can restart the computer and get out of safe mode.
Open your flutter project in Visual Studio Code.
Open a terminal window under terminal > new Terminal.
run the command, git config --global --add safe.directory C:/src/flutter make sure you use forward / and set the file path to wherever you saved your flutter folder. This can also be run from the administrator command prompt if you don't have VS Code or a flutter project.
Then run flutter doctor -v in the VS Code terminal to make sure everything is working.
Now we need to rebuild all of our packages and dependencies, run the following list of commands in order.
flutter clean
flutter pub cache repair
flutter pub get
flutter pub upgrade --major-versions
Troubleshooting
These are other solutions I noticed on stack overflow while trying to solve the problem for myself. These didn't work for my situation, but may help you solve yours.
Flutter doctor, running very slowly. Try deleting the cache folder found in, C:\src\flutter\bin\cache\ then running flutter doctor -v again. Flutter doctor hangs on start, no output
If you are in China. Download flutter through a mirror site.
Try installing a different type of unzip program (like 7-zip).
Make sure you are using the Stable flutter channel.
Make sure your path variables are set up correctly.
getting error "Waiting for another flutter command to release the startup lock" Use task manager to forcibly close any flutter or dart programs.
Can't delete old flutter folder, in use for some reason. Restart and immediately delete the folder.
Make sure flutter isn't installed in a folder that requires admin privileges to access, such as C:\Program Files\.
Make sure you have git for windows installed and have set up your ssh keys.
Add the Flutter and Dart extensions to VS Code.
Add the flutter and Dart plugins to Android Studio.
Delete the cache folder inside bin folder of the flutter sdk then run flutter doctor it should work now.
