Step 1: From the Start search bar, enter ‘env’ and select Edit environment variables for your account.
Step 2: Under User variables check if there is an entry called Path.
If the entry exists, append the full path to flutter\bin using ; as a separator from existing values.
If the entry doesn’t exist, create a new user variable named Path with the full path to flutter\bin as its value.
Run Flutter Doctor
| Command 1 | C:\src\flutter>flutter doctor |
If the entry exists, append the full path to flutter\bin using ; as a separator from existing values.
If the entry doesn’t exist, create a new user variable named Path with the full path to flutter\bin as its value.

If you’re using a different shell, the file path and filename will be different on your machine.If the entry exists, append the full path to flutter\bin using ; as a separator from existing values.
If the entry doesn’t exist, create a new user variable named Path with the full path to flutter\bin as its value.
| Command 1 | export PATH=”$PATH:[PATH_OF_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/bin” |
Verify that the flutter/bin directory is now in your PATH by running:
| Command 1 | echo $PATH |
Verify that the flutter command is available by running:
| Command 1 | which flutter |
