[@mefrochedcosta1428]

As Catalina Version 10.15.4 User, It works for me. I've tried the following steps: 1)vim .zshrc 2)Specify the path as shown in the video and save. 3)source ~/.bash_profile 4)flutter --version

[@vaniceleung8880]

It works for me. Thx a lot

[@rezamehrzad5128]

I tried this, it didn't work.

Hopefully this makes it a little easier on someone :) 0:00 - Installation Requirements 1:49 - Downloading flutter for OSX 2:56 - Unzipping 3:14 - Moving the Flutter folder 4:34 - Opening Terminal 4:52 - Installing via Terminal 8:15 - Checking installation 9:15 - $$$

[@ThiccBoiardee]

I didn’t have to unzip anything... why?

[@spacesurfer8561]

for some reason you were the only person who helped me to finally install it.

[@salwaalhajjaji3128]

for those that didn't work for them 1. type=> vim .bash_profile => tap Enter 2. type=> export PATH="$PATH: => go to flutter folder => drag and drop the folder into terminal "this is the most important trick😅" => type i => complete the path with /bin" => type esc => type :wq! 3. Quit terminal then open it again type flutter --version NOW it will work🤩❤️

Thanks, I couldn't leave because I wasn't pressing escape.

To add the flutter path to the paths just change directory to flutter directory and use the following command: export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin"

I have a new mac (feb 2021) with Big Sur version 11.2. When I tried to check with the command flutter--version all I get is 'command not found' I'm thinking all this video is of no use to any new users. can anyone help? TIA

[@elombekisala941]

If you're watching as of 2021 and the steps didn't work for you: 1- Open the file $HOME/.zshrc 2- Add the following line in the opened file: export PATH="$PATH:/YOUR_FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin" 3- Save changes and restart your terminal You can find the .zshrc file by following what @Kurie said, "go to the location of where your Developer folder is, press CMD + SHIFT + . to show hidden folders" Follow step 2 and 3, then you should be good👍

[@mallikashraf727]

Greetings. Thank you. Your instructions are very smooth & clear.

[@saultrejo6563]

Thank you very much LAB. Very helpful and clear video. Ditto on the Catalina issue. I had just updated so you'll need to enter a command to affirm the switch to Z shell (terminal will provide small notice/instruction).

[@inspectae]

I follow the steps but when I entered "flutter --version" this came up. zsh: command not found: flutter

i keep getting this error. did you manage to fix it?

[@rawanyy00]

copy and paste this in the terminal hit enter export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"

[@christianniekler5215]

It might be because you recently updated your OS. Try running this: xcode-select --install That will reset your xcode tools. That worked for me I had the same error

[@GlitchGalaxyRadio]

If you have an error on 'flutter --version' in Catalina. To fix this issue: Instead of typing vim .bash_profile in the beginning, just type vim .zshrc instead.. And if you mess up, go to the location of where your Developer folder is, press CMD + SHIFT + . to show hidden folders, from there, you can delete the .zshrc file and try this step again in case you mess up.

[@MiltSchreiber]

Believe it or not, simply removing the quotation marks in export PATH=$PATH did the trick for me.

[@hughfraser5285]

Fantastic clear explanation

[@3litepker]

8:55 that pop up tripped me up because i legit paused it at that exact time and I got the same pop up at the same location on my mac and when i pressed ok, i thought there was another box but it was just the video 🤦‍♂️

Ive given up. no metter what I do, no matter what i install or type into terminal - when i type 'flutter --version' i get command not found

[@ianfagundes84]

Hi Atua you must "update" your source after made the process described by @PRAJVAL(comments), do this on terminal: source $HOME/.zshrc. After this you can test your path doing echo $PATH, this will return your path defined previously. good luck ;)
