Setup Flutter

This script automates the installation of all required tools to set up a new machine to start developing with Flutter.

Prerequisites

• The machine should be running macOS or Linux (Ubuntu/Debian).
• The machine should have an active internet connection.
• curl should be installed.

Steps to Run the Script

1. Open the terminal.
2. Run the following command:

curl -fsSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shan-shaji/setup-flutter/main/setup_flutter | /bin/bash

3. Wait for the script to complete. It may take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Support

If you encounter any issues while running the script, please create an issue on the GitHub repository.

Failure and Success Cases

• If any of the prerequisites are not met, the script will exit with an appropriate error message.
• If any of the installations fail, the script will exit with an appropriate error message.
• If the script completes successfully, all required tools will be installed and the machine will be ready for Flutter development.

Note: This script will perform the following steps:

• Install Home Brew
• Install Snap - Linux
• Install Android Studio
• Install VS Code
• Install FVM
• Install Flutter default version

Note: The script does not install Xcode, JDK, or any other Android-related tools. You must have Xcode and JDK installed on macOS, and you need to configure Android Studio manually on both macOS and Linux.

Note: This script installs the stable version of Flutter. If you want to install a different version, you can do so using fvm. For more information on fvm, please refer to the GitHub repository.

Note: This script sets up fvm and adds it to the PATH. You can use fvm to manage different versions of Flutter on the same machine.

Troubleshooting

1. If you are facing this error when trying to run the script please try attatching sudo before the install script.

Running in non-interactive mode because `stdin` is not a TTY.
==> Checking for `sudo` access (which may request your password)...
Need sudo access on macOS (e.g. the user shan needs to be an Administrator)!
/bin/bash: line 18: /opt/homebrew/bin/brew: No such file or directory
