Flutter commands not working

bash: flutter: command not found


Hi everyone! Apparently none of the flutter commands are working on the terminal of android studio which I believe I am trying to run it at the root of my project.
Thank you in advance

You need to correctly set up your flutter path.

from here
https://flutter.io/setup-macos/#update-your-path


Determine the directory where you placed the Flutter SDK. You will need this in Step 3.
Open (or create) $HOME/.bash_profile. You can do that by using terminal text editor by going in terminal and typing nano ~/.bash_profile
Add the following line and change [PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY] to be the path where you cloned Flutter’s git repo:


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

for example:

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


press CTRL X and when it asked you to save the file, choose yes
Run source $HOME/.bash_profile to refresh the current window or restart the terminal
Verify that the flutter/bin directory is now in your PATH by running:
echo $PATH


Notice that [PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY] is where you installed flutter sdk, not the location of your app

Instead of nano, you can use any text editor to edit ~/.bash_profile

Do the following steps:


Download the Flutter SDK
Flutter SDK Archive
Extract it where do you want (for example /home/development/flutter)
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



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


You can easily create a symbolic link as below,

sudo ln -s /opt/flutter/bin/flutter /usr/bin/flutter


I had moved flutter into /opt/ folder after downloading, so replace with the path you have flutter directory.

flutter command should work even after rebooting your machine.
