I am trying to install Flutter on my M1 Pro. I am following along with this setup process -> https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/macos#update-your-path
So far, I've downloaded Xcode & the Flutter SDK for Apple Silicon devices.
If I use the command, export PATH="$PATH:pwd/flutter/bin", which is a temporary path, it works. It's making the path permanent that I can't get to work. I didn't have a hidden file named .zshrc so I had to create one via the default EditText app. Currently, I have a .zshrc file with no extension in my home directory.
Per the Flutter instructions, I'm supposed to add this line in the .zshrc file -> export PATH="$PATH:[PATH_OF_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/bin". It currently looks like -> export PATH="$PATH:/Users/MYUSERNAME/Development/flutter/bin".
I'm supposed to be able to close out of everything and then open a new terminal and type "flutter" and it work.. Instead I get, "zsh: command not found: flutter".
Can someone explain what I'm missing? According to an Academind tutorial, this should work.
I resolved this by deleting my .zshrc file and creating a .zshenv file. In the terminal I typed vim ~/.zshenv
Started a new terminal and flutter works!
Hello im trying to install Flutter it worked a few days ago, but know the terminal cant find flutter "zsh: command not found: flutter" im thinking i might have to earase all files named flutter and reinstall but not sure how ? ( I have setup vim with the path but it still seems to not being able to find the path ?)

Many thanks for your time! :)

You need to update the environment path.
Open terminal.
vim $HOME/.zshrc
Press "I" key for going to insert mode.
add the following line in the opened file:
export PATH="$PATH:/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin"
Press "Esc" then write :wq! in terminal and press enter to exit vim.
Reopen the terminal and check "flutter doctor"
If this solution did not work, remove the double quote from path or use the full path explicitly instead of ~.
try this steps my issue was solved with this.
I can open one of my Xcode project in Xcode and add Application supports iTunes file sharing=Yes to plist with Xcode and through Xcode directly, Now I was wandering if this work code be done completely via Terminal as well?
My Goal is type a command in Terminal that does the same work for plist just with Terminal and without opening Xcode program and doing it manually just with Terminal command. For example I have a random Xcode project saved on my Desktop, and since Xcode is accessible via Terminal, I want make this work.
As #Sweeper already answered you should got to the path of your .plist file and then write the following command:
vim Info.plist
This will open an editor which then you need to click on "i", then input the following line into the main tag:
<key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key><true/>
Then click "esc" then ":" then "w" then "q" and finally "Enter" and you are done.

Recently I updated Mac OS to latest Catalina and my terminal which is using zsh now start showing me following error:
zsh: command not found: flutter
It was working fine before update.
You need to update the environment path.
Open terminal.
vim $HOME/.zshrc
Press "I" key for going to insert mode.
add the following line in the opened file:
export PATH="$PATH:/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin"
Press "Esc" then write :wq! in terminal and press enter to exit vim.
Reopen the terminal and check "flutter doctor"
If this solution did not work, remove the double quote from path or use the full path explicitly instead of ~.
Working on macOS Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101).
I have used .zprofile instead of .zhrc
Provide Full Disk Access to Terminal by
Setting -> Security & Privacy -> Full Disk Access. Add Terminal
If the current terminal uses bash, change to zshell using the below command
chsh -s /bin/zsh
In the root directory i.e something like /Users/^YourAccount^ execute the below
touch .zprofile
vim .zprofile
Press I to enter insert mode. Type the below
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/^YourAccount^/^YourPath^/flutter/bin
Save and quit by pressing Esc, then :wq and Enter
Close Terminal and reopen Again. Then try executing flutter command
For me removing double quotes did the fix.
Try changing
export PATH="$PATH:[PATH TO FLUTTER]/flutter/bin"
into
export PATH=$PATH:[PATH TO FLUTTER]/flutter/bin
adding few more steps for easiness:
Open terminal.
vim $HOME/.zshrc
Press "I" to open insert mode.
add the following line in the opened file:
export PATH=$PATH:[PATH TO FLUTTER]/flutter/bin (remember I don't have double quotes here)
Press "Esc" then type :wq in terminal to exit edit mode.
Type
source .zshrc to reload the terminal for changes
You must update your environment $PATH variable.
1) Open the file $HOME/.zshrc $HOME is your home path
2) add the following line in the opened file:
export PATH="$PATH:/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin"
3) save the changes and restart your terminal session.
The process is also documented here
Follow these steps:
Open finder
Enter Cmd + Shift + G
Type ~ in Go to the folder popup.
Now enter Cmd + Shift + . to show hidden files.
Open .zshrc
Add this line
export PATH="$PATH:/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin"
Replace this /YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR with the path to your flutter directory.
In my mac, the path is
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/FlutterDevelopment/flutter/bin
in android studio terminal, simply just type this command:
export PATH="/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin:$PATH"
change YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR to your actual directory
I updated from Mojave to Catalina and running Terminal, switched to the default/preferred zsh shell, from the bash shell.
Then was hit with
zsh: command not found: flutter
so, followed the advice seen elsewhere to only add the following to Users/MyUserId/.zshrc
export PATH="$PATH:/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin"
echo $PATH showed that /Users/MyUserId/flutter/bin was now one of the configured PATHs.
However, I couldn't get "flutter doctor" to work but came across a post on jelliesgame.com which suggested copying
Users/MyUserId/.bash_profile to Users/MyUserId/.zshenv
Now, flutter doctor gives a clean bill of health
This worked for me:
Steps:
Type on the terminal:
open .zshrc (This opens the document in text edit)
Add this to the end of the file:
export PATH="/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Documents/code/tools/flutter/bin:$PATH"
Save and close .zshrc
Then type:
flutter doctor
Had the same issue and just realized that I forgot to add the close quote
So the correct way is to add to .zshrc by typing vim ~/.zshrc
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Flutter/flutter/bin"
or
export PATH="$PATH:/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin"
then run source ~/.zshrc or just open a new terminal window
I tried installing flutter on my MAC according to the advice here, but it still doesn't work, after searching for it I found an article here.
So, I change my .zshrc file to:
export PATH="$PATH:/Users/YOUR_PROVILE_NAME/YOUR_DEVELOPMENT_FOLDER/flutter/bin"
Change YOUR_PROVILE_NAME to your name profile, also YOUR_DEVELOPMENT_FOLDER to your development folder for flutter
and now it's working.
Note:
I use Catalina OS v10.15.4
I followed URL to resolve my issue.
I simply created a .zshrc file which was not exist then added my PATH variables copied from existing .bashrc.
I had the same problem when upgrading to mac Catalina 10.15.4:
After many days of research, I have achieved success. Here are the steps I did:
First, open the terminal on your mac.
Next, use the command
cat .bash_profile
and copy the content.
Then type this command into the terminal:
nano $ HOME / .zshrc
and paste the content just copied above into. Save then type
source $ HOME / .zshrc
to refresh this file. Next type
echo $ PATH
to see if the content has been updated. If successful type
flutter --version
and you will see the result.
There are quite a few answers mentioned above pretty much same. I would say worth seeing into the SHELL using echo $SHELL command,
If you’re using Bash, edit $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc. If you’re using Z shell, edit $HOME/.zshrc. If you’re using a different shell, the file path and filename will be different on your machine.
N.B. Don't forget you need to add VIM before either command in the terminal app.
For further details, click the link Update your path, and look into the section Update your Path. I hope it would help many especially new comers to MAC OS. Cheers
For me .zshrc worked instead of .zprofile. I believe this is because I had created .zshrc earlier and now when I tried creating .zprofile, it was looking into .zshrc file.
You can check if .zshrc file using ls -a command
I just tried to execute Flutter: New Project, but it shows an error that could not find a flutter SDK.
I've ensured to complete all of the requirements from the flutter doctor.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks.
On macOS this was solved by following these steps.
First find where you downloaded the flutter sdk (Can be downloaded from here). It should be in your downloads folder unless you selected somewhere else.
Next:
Open up Terminal. Run the following command: sudo nano /etc/paths
Enter your password, when prompted.
Go to the bottom of the file, and enter the path you wish to add.
Hit control-x to quit.
Enter “Y” to save the modified buffer.
If the sdk is downloaded into your Downloads folder, your path to add should be /Users/yourusername/Downloads/flutter/bin
Lastly, quit and restart your terminal windows and VS Code. After restarting, both apps should recognize flutter and running flutter doctor should now work.
If you installed Flutter extension please restart VS_CODE and try it again. I already had the same problem.
The thing is VSCode looks for .packages file in your Flutter project this file contains path to your Flutter SDK & some other metadata. You're getting this error because either the .packages file is missing or either the path to Flutter SDK in .packages file contains some discrepancies.
To resolve it, you can;
Either edit the .packages file & set the path.
Or if you already have a working Flutter project then a .packages must've been already created. Copy that file & paste it in the root directory of your project.
Restart VSCode & run flutter pub get
This should resolve the issue.
Check your environment variables:
Look for the PATH if it exists append the full path to flutter\bin
using ; as a separator from existing values.
If it does not exist, create a new user variable named PATH with the
full path to flutter\bin as its value.
And check the installation guide
After doing this:
Open VS Code.
Press Ctrl + Shift + P.
Then type flutter and select run flutter doctor it should be fixed now.
Create a new project to make sure it's run.
For Linux Users
For future visitors :)
I had the same problem, in my Terminal flutter doctor or in general flutter was recognized, but VSCode couldn't recognize my SDK location so flutter doctor for instance didn't work.
The first thing to do is to follow the steps in flutter documentation: Flutter Doc
If it didn't work, change the environment variables directly.
sudo nano /etc/environment
Now add the location of the bin folder of your flutter SDK, The folder that you downloaded from here.
For example, you extracted it here: /Home/User/Software
Add /Home/User/Software/flutter/bin to the PATH variable. Paths are separated by a colon(:)
After a few solutions I tried, this one worked.
For Windows
Open Visual Studio Code
Click Locate SDK
Find your flutter folder
Click Save
Re-open your Visual Studio Code
Press Ctrl + Shift + P
Type flutter and choose Flutter: New Application Project
Type your project name (e.g: flutter_application_1)
Select a folder to create the project in
If you want to change your flutter sdk location
Go to Visual Studio Code > Manage > Setting (or with shortcut Ctrl
Search dart
Find [dart] configure setting to be overriden for [dart] language
Click Edit in settings.json
You'll see :
{
"dart.sdkPath": "C:\\tools\\dart-sdk",
"dart.flutterSdkPath": "C:\\tools\\flutter",
"[dart]": {
"editor.tabSize": 2,
"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.detectIndentation": false,
"editor.suggest.insertMode": "replace"
}
}
Replace dart.sdkPath and dart.flutterSdkPath with your new sdk location
Installing Flutter on Linux is a breeze using snapd as is documented officially. But then trying to create a Flutter project by following the official steps as mentioned here - Test drive - Flutter will throw an error similar to the description provided in the question.
On a side note though, you don't have to bother adding Flutter to PATH if it was installed using snapd.
Rather, follow these steps:
flutter create <insert_app_folder_name>
cd <insert_app_folder_name>
code .
What it really does is:
The Flutter binary is called from within snapd & creates a project with a directory name you provide.
You can now cd into that specific directory.
Call VSCode in the current directory which opens a VSCode instance within the project directory.
Refer to the answer by #maheshmnj about the .package. This file was created by Flutter earlier if you followed the aforementioned steps.
This means the Flutter extension couldn't find the Flutter SDK automatically (eg. by looking in your PATH or a path configured with dart.flutterSdkPath). Clicking Locate SDK should let you browse to the SDK manually and record that location for the next time. If you see this again after restarting, that's definitely a bug in the Dart/Flutter extension, so please open an issue at https://github.com/Dart-Code/Dart-Code and include the output from clicking the Show Log button, as well as noting whether there's a dart.flutterSdkPath setting in your VS Code User Settings.
If you have just installed the flutter extension, close all the vs code applications running and restart the vs code then it will work as expected.
In order to run a new flutter project,
Go to vs code-> View tab -> command pallette -> select Flutter ->
give a name to the project ->give the path of the project
Now you are good to go with flutter.
I would like to complete NoobN3rd information.
In VSCode Linux I used this steps:
sudo nano /etc/environment
Type your password
I added 3 paths at the end of line:
3.1 /"flutter instalation directory"/flutter/bin
3.2 /"flutter instalation directory"/flutter/packages
3.3 /"flutter instalation directory"/flutter/dev
Save it and reboot your system
Look at my environment file to have an example:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/paulo/development/flutter/bin:/home/paulo/development/flutter/packages:/home/paulo/development/flutter/dev"
if youknow where have you extracted your zip file of dart(Eg. at the time of extraction i setup the path C:\src\flutter)
then in vs code goto
c drive
-src
-flutter
-bin
-cache
-(dart-sdk)
select this folder and your
vs code will be adjusted.
I was facing the same problem. I've initially followed all the steps provided by installation guide of Flutter and was able to run an existing project using flutter run command.
So I've tried again repeating the very same steps of the installation guide and changed the path that I initially set like:
export PATH="$PATH:~/path/to/flutter/bin"
For one like:
export PATH="$PATH:/home/user/path/to/flutter/bin"
Then I run source ~/.bashrc and restarted Visual Code and worked! so I suppose that it was something related to ~ in the path.
I would like to add a complementary and alternative response to the Linux solutions given by NoobN3rd, Traufvihal and Paulo Ravaiano.
I'm using Manjaro and for some reason my Visual Studio Code was not picking up all the environment variables definition. I tried all the solutions and finally I realised the problem was not with the variables definition (my final solution contains them all in ~/.bashrc but it should work with /etc/environment as well) but on how Visual Studio Code was launched.
In case someone else is facing this problem, I noticed that running VS Code from the applications menu fails to link the environment variables for some reason. On the other hand, launching "code-oss" from the terminal does the trick and picks all my variables defined in my ~/.bashrc file.
Hope it helps!
I just got out of the same trouble, after numerous hit and trials trying to run flutter commands from vs code terminal the below set of steps got the things up for me.
In Ubuntu 18.04
Grab the path of the directory where flutter was unpacked by you.Mine was in the Home directory for the root user. Location can be any of your choice.
Go to the Home for your root user
Un-hide all of the hidden files in this directory.
Look for .bashrc file. Do not look for .profile file.
Open .bashrc file using nano/vim/text editor which ever you like.
Scroll to the bottom of the file and add this line -
export PATH="$PATH:pwd/flutter_linux/flutter/bin"
Quit all instances of the vscode (if any) opened.
Re-open and in the terminal type which flutter
Here -
I had re-named the un-zipped folder name like "flutter_linux_v1.12.13+hotfix.9-stable" with "flutter_linux"
Hope this helps......
i was also facing this error, after putting the flutter sdk path at the End of the PATH variable(not in middle or start) it works fine for me
For those who want to change their Flutter SDK path for the Dart & Flutter plugin
Click on Manage Icon(on Mac)
Click on Settings
On the Settings page, Click on Dart & Flutter.
Look for Dart: Sdk Path, click on Edit in settings.json
Edit dart.flutterSdkPath to your VSCode Flutter path
For me non of the answers helped.
What helped was (on macOS) opening the .bash_profile file via
sudo nano .bash_profile
and change the path to where my Flutter was as this has changed. Or add this line export PATH="$PATH:/home/user/path/to/flutter/bin"
hope this helpes.
QUICK SOLUTION!: If on macOS, PLUS everything had been working flawlessly previously, and this happens all of a sudden, or periodically, here is what I eventually discovered...
If your mac restarted, either on its own due to a crash, freeze or overnight install of updates, and VS Code was running, it generally restores all your vscode instances, but with various environment-related errors such as this one. The reason is that you are not running in the context of a shell and you don't have access to those environment settings. See this article from the VS Code documentation.
THE SOLUTION?: Quit and restart VS code as you normally would. Others have mentioned this, but I thought it would be good to know why this happens so you aren't surprised next time.
Please refer to the Get Flutter SDK section and locate where you have installed your flutter\bin folder. In my case, I put the flutter bin in my Documents folder.
See the following image Flutter\bin location
Windows
After make sure right Flutter version is in your path: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/windows
and you can run flutter doctor successfully
in VS Code you need to go to File->Preferences->Settings (or Ctrl+,)
then search for dart.flutterSdkPath then click on "Edit in settings.json" make sure it is the right path there.
I had the same problem, the solution was:
take the folder where you have extracted your zip file (for example: C:\src\flutter\flutter) then put it in the environment variable path and restart vscode.
