**Step 1 : Get the Flutter SDK**

1 Download the following installation bundle to get the latest stable release of the Flutter SDK:

2 Extract the zip file and place the contained flutter in the desired installation location for the Flutter SDK (for example, C:\src\flutter; do not install Flutter in a directory like C:\Program Files\ that requires elevated privileges).

**Step 2 : Update your path**<br>

If you wish to run Flutter commands in the regular Windows console, take these steps to add Flutter to the PATH environment variable: From the Start search bar, enter ‘env’ and select **Edit environment variables for your account.** 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.

Note that you have to close and reopen any existing console windows for these changes to take effect.
{% endhint %}

**You are now ready to run Flutter commands in the Flutter Console!**

**Step 3 : Run flutter doctor**<br>

From a console window that has the Flutter directory in the path (see above), run the following command to see if there are any platform dependencies you need to complete the setup:

```
c:\src\flutter>flutter doctor
```
