How to install flutter on ubuntu 25.04

Flutter is Google’s open-source UI toolkit for building cross-platform applications. Installing it on Ubuntu 25.04 allows you to develop apps for Android, iOS, web, and desktop.

Step 1: Update System Packages

Before installation, update your system to make sure all packages are current:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install Required Dependencies

Flutter requires some development tools and libraries. Install them with:

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

Step 3: Download Flutter SDK

Navigate to /opt and download the Flutter stable release:

cd /opt
sudo curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/flutter_infra_release/releases/stable/linux/flutter_linux_3.24.3-stable.tar.xz

Extract the archive:

sudo tar xf flutter_linux_3.24.3-stable.tar.xz

Step 4: Add Flutter to PATH

Make Flutter accessible system-wide:

echo 'export PATH="/opt/flutter/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Verify installation:

flutter --version

Step 5: Run Flutter Doctor

Check if all dependencies are satisfied:

flutter doctor

This will highlight missing components like Android Studio or SDKs if needed. Flutter is now installed on Ubuntu 25.04. You can start building cross-platform apps and extend functionality by installing Android Studio or Visual Studio Code.
