How to install flutter in Window 10?

[scjob...@gmail.com]

I am new to app developing, learning to build mobile app, some people say flutter could be the future, cross platform, almost act like native app.

But I get confused during installation: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows

See the screenshot, I don't know what it means: do I still need to install Android Studio in order to install Flutter? I thought Flutter itself is cross-platform already, why needs another platform Android Studio?

Where can I get detailed installation instruction? I lost on above link.

Thanks.

The flutter official site does not say Android Studio. I will try it when I have time.

Thanks.

Indeed, it is not so simple to do this. First, you must install Java 8.x and set it as default. Alas, nothing works without this. Be sure you define JAVA_HOME and JAVASDK_HOME environment variables.

The key is to install Android Studio, and specify an empty directory elsewhere for the Android SDK.

Yes,  Flutter itself is cross-platform. Code once and run on both operating system such as Android or iOS. 

For windows in order Flutter to work for Android you definitely need to run Android SDK. Android SDK comes with Android Studio to make your life better.

But still you can get Android SDK without installing Android Studio ( Please Read: https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-android-sdk-in-windows )  but that doesn't make your life better.

You have to rely on the command line prompt.

Good luck
