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:

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