Exception: Unable to generate build files in flutter


I am trying to install flutter in kali linux machine. I installed flutter from official website and followed accordingly. I don't want to use android studio so I am using visual studio code.
when I run Flutter doctor in terminal i get

[✓] Flutter (Channel master, 2.2.0-11.0.pre.161, on Linux, locale en_IN)
[✗] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices
    ✗ Unable to locate Android SDK.
      Install Android Studio from: https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
      On first launch it will assist you in installing the Android SDK components.
      (or visit https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux#android-setup for detailed instructions).
      If the Android SDK has been installed to a custom location, please use
      `flutter config --android-sdk` to update to that location.

And when i Run in visual studio i get this

Launching lib/main.dart on Linux in debug mode...
lib/main.dart:1
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
Exception: Unable to generate build files

Solution

  • I found the solution by using this following command:

    sudo apt-get install clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev
     
    

    and

    flutter config --enable-linux-desktop
