Dependencies and Environment

To get started I’m presuming you have a Linux installation of something like Debian/Ubuntu.

General Dependencies

Git

You probably already have this but just in case:

sudo apt install git

Ensure Java JDK is installed and recent enough

sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

Stuff Flutter Needs

The latest info about this should be here but at time of writing:

sudo apt-get install -y curl git unzip xz-utils zip libglu1-mesa

And some other tools Flutter uses:

sudo apt install clang cmake ninja-build

If using Chromium browser instead of Chrome

The Android SDK likes to know where Chrome is on your system. I use Chromium and the SDK can’t find it.

So I export an environment variable to let Flutter know where to find Chromium eg in ~/.profile

export CHROME_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/chromium
