We may find difficulty in installing flutter . Here I am gonna share the process for installing it .

First, go to https://flutter.dev/ and install flutter SDK. You can install it based on your OS.

SDK for respective OS

Make sure that you install SDK in drive other than C.

Once you are done , unzip flutter SDK .

Unzip flutter

In case you don’t find the option, install WinRar or 7-Zip or PeaZip.(If you want I will make a seperate blog for it).

Then specify the path where you want to save flutter SDK and click OK. Make surethat you dont install it in C drive.

Copy the path of your flutter SDK folder.

Go to advanced system settings in properties of your Personal computer and add the path of your SDK in environment variables.

Rignt click This PC and go to environment settings
Environment variables

Visual Studio code users

Now for the users who want to use Visual studio code as a medium for app development , go to visual studio code and install flutter and dart extensions.

Once You are done with above things , you can start your flutter project.

Emulator for VS code users

Emulator is necessary to test out application.

But using vs code alone we can’t fix our emulator.

We need to either fix our emulator using Android Studio or Vysor. You may even find other ways in fixing emulator.

Now, let us see the second one .

Emulator using Vysor ?

Go to https://www.vysor.io/ and then install Vysor for your OS and run it.

Download Vysor

Now , connect the phone you want to use as emulator to your P.C using USB connector.

Go to settings in your phone and enable developer mode .

Enabling developer mode

Go to “About phone” in your settings .

Search for Build number in your phone settings.

Tap it for several times (approx 7–8 times)

Then your developer mode will be enabled.

Now search for developer options and enable USB debugging.

enabling developer settings

Once you are done, your device gets connected .

We can see how to set emulator in Android studio in next blog.

Stay tuned and Happy learning. 📜
