The problem

I had a problem installing flutter at my Macbook Air 2017 (OS version = Big Sur).

Step by step to reproduce

  • After doing exactly equal as the installing documentation, I restarted the computer
  • tried to run flutter doctor
  • Terminal was logging command not found

The Solution

  • I googled some solutions and I found that Mac Catalina or Higher requires Full Disk access to Terminal to get Flutter working, but I have no evidence it works (Anyway, I allowed this in preferences).
  • I found out that Mac Catalina or higher uses zsh with a .zprofile (not .zshrc nor .zshenv etc).
    Then I added this to the .zprofile:
    export PATH=$HOME/FLUTTER_DIR/flutter/bin:$PATH

AND..... IT WORKS!

Proposal

Consider adding a note at Get Started Documentation.

Best regards.

@danielhrc, the macos install page mentions editing the .zshrc file. That didn't work for you?

@sfshaza2 it didn't work - then I tried editing every .z file and restarting the notebook after every edit.
The only that worked was .zprofile
