The steps for modifying this variable permanently for all terminal sessions are machine-specific. Typically you add a line to a file that is executed whenever you open a new window. For example:
- Determine the directory where you placed the Flutter SDK. You will need this in Step 3.
- Open (or create) $HOME/.bash_profile. The file path and filename might be different on your machine.
- Add the following line and change [PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY] to be the path where you cloned Flutter’s git repo:
$ export PATH="$PATH:[PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/flutter/bin"
Run source $HOME/.bash_profile to refresh the current window.
Verify that the flutter/bin directory is now in your PATH by running:
echo $PATH
