Which is the most stable way to install flutter in GNU/Linux?

I recently decided to switch from W10 to GNU/Linux, and yes still a Linux noob.

So which is the most recommended way to install flutter on Linux?, a way which won't get me troubles in the future when I try to update flutter.

Right now I only now this three ways, which one is the best option? (you're free to tell me is there is another and better option)

  • Install Flutter using snapcraft (snapd)
  • Install Flutter manually with github repo or tar
  • Install Flutter using yay (Arch-based distros only)

I really don't know anything about flutter in GNU/Linux so, I'd appreciate any opinion and advice. Thank you in advance.

Solution

  • The best and most stable for me was manually, but not from gitHub, by using tar. SnapD caused errors, but using .tar has been fine for 5 months now. Updating easily and seamlessly. As you may have seen, but follow the documentation here step by step will work fine. https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux If you have trouble exporting the path, come back for further help.
