# Flutter Setup for the macOS system First, download the Flutter here: {% hint style="info" %} Please note that this manual and all the steps described are applicable to the macOS building process. {% endhint %} **You can watch the video tutorial describing the full process of Android app building on macOS.** Or you can follow the instructions and steps described in this manual. When you created the folder with Flutter SDK, open it in Terminal using the following command: ``` cd ~/development ``` If there is no development folder run this command first: ``` mkdir /development ```

After that, you need to run the **unzip** command. Make sure you specify the correct path to the downloaded Flutter archive file. Run the command below: ``` unzip ~/Downloads/flutter_macos_3.3.8-stable.zip ```

## **Setting the Flutter tool path** In order to set up the Flutter tool path you should run this command: ``` export PATH="$PATH:pwd/flutter/bin" ``` Next, you need to know which shell you are using. For this run this command: ``` echo $SHELL ```

Depending on the shell run the following command: ``` sudo nano ~/.zshrc ``` or ``` sudo nano /.bashrc ``` Again, the command you will be using depends on the shell you have.

After that in the new window, you need to add a path to the flutter tool. Use the following command: ``` export PATH=$PATH:~/development/flutter/bin ```

The next thing you need to do is to check the **Flutter dependencies**. For this, run the command: ``` flutter doctor ``` This operation will help you to identify if there are any dependencies you need to install. After the results will be prepared click **Agree** and wait for the installation of the needed dependencies to complete the setup.

The Flutter Doctor results will be displayed as follows:

Accept Android licenses. For this, run this command: ``` flutter doctor --android-licenses ```

To accept the licenses just type ***“y”***

After you finished all the steps, the installation of Flutter SDK is complete. You can follow to the next step of building the app. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
