3. Add the Flutter directory to the PATH path
export PATH=you The flutter installation directory /flutter/bin:$PATH

If you want the automatic configuration to take effect every time the computer is restarted, add the PATH configuration to .zshrc (or .bash_profile):
export PATH=/Users/apple/Documents/flutter-sdk/flutter/bin:$PATH

Here /Users/apple/Documents/flutter-sdk/flutter/ is my Flutter installation path.
Note: The Dart SDK is already bundled in Flutter, there is no need to install Dart separately.
Run flutter doctor
After the configuration is complete, we can run flutter doctor to check whether the installation is successful:
flutter doctor

This command checks your environment and displays a report in the terminal window. Examine the command line output carefully for additional software that may need to be installed or further tasks to be performed (shown in bold).
The report will show some problems in the running environment. For example, in the above figure, Xcode and Android Studio are not configured.
Next, we take Android Studio as an example to configure.
