flutter doesn't execute from the path

I try to install flutter for the first time on my mac.

I followed the instructions on the flutter get-started and I downloaded the zip for apple silicon (step 1) and unzipped the content as step2 suggested.

then in step 3, i need to run this command:

export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin"

So I run the command using where I was unzip the files: ~:

export PATH="$PATH:~/flutter/bin"

Then I restart the wrap terminal and try to run flutter but I got the error:

zsh: command not found: flutter

Why? What is missing?

I was try to solve it by doing what the accepted answer suggest

But still command not found.

Solution

  • Your export command does not make sense, since tilde-expansion occurs only if the tilde is at the start of an unquoted word.

    It should therefore be

    PATH="$PATH:$HOME/flutter/bin"

    or simpler

    path+=~/flutter/bin

    Since PATH is pretty sure exported anyway, you don't need an explicit export.
