## Set up Flutter

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Flutter">
    Download and install the Flutter SDK from the official Flutter website.

    ```bash theme={null}
    # Verify the Flutter binary is on your PATH
    flutter --version
    ```

    <Tip>
      Flutter includes the Dart SDK, so you do not need to install Dart separately.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run Flutter Doctor">
    Run the following command to check your environment and confirm that everything is configured correctly:

    ```bash theme={null}
    flutter doctor
    ```

    Review the output and resolve any issues marked with an `✗` before continuing.

    <Note>
      For a mobile device target you will also need either Android Studio (for Android) or Xcode (for iOS). Make sure the relevant entries in `flutter doctor` show no errors.
    </Note>
