• Extract the zip file to any directory you want (e.g. C:\src\flutter).

4. Add Flutter to PATH:

• Add the Flutter bin directory to your system PATH variable by following these steps:
  • Open the Start menu and search for “environment variables”.
  • Select “Edit the system environment variables”.
  • Click on the “Environment Variables” button.
  • Under “System variables”, select “Path” and click “Edit”.
  • Click “New” and enter the path to the Flutter bin directory (e.g. C:\src\flutter\bin).
