Technical requirements
In this chapter, we will create, build, and run a Flutter application. To do this, you will need to set up your system so that it can do this.
Specifically, you will need to set up your system so that it has the following:
- The latest stable Flutter software development kit (SDK) installed and added to your path
- An integrated development environment (IDE) where you can view and edit Flutter code
- Android Studio and/or Xcode so that you can use the Android and iOS development tools and iOS simulators/Android emulators
The chapter will give you some guidance on how to set up your system, but as you will discover, the Flutter documentation is excellent and includes very accurate and up-to-date getting started guides: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install.
Feel free to set up your system now or at the specific points required during this chapter.
