When setting up Flutter on a Linux Ubuntu system, you might encounter the error message indicating that the Flutter and Dart plugins are not installed when running the flutter doctor command. This guide will help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue effectively.
Understanding the Error
The error occurs when Flutter Doctor cannot detect the Flutter and Dart plugins required for Android Studio. This often happens if the plugins are not installed or if the environment paths are incorrectly set.
Solution Steps
Based on the most relevant solutions, here are steps you can follow to resolve the issue:
Install Flutter and Dart Plugins in Android Studio
- Open Android Studio.
- Navigate to File → Settings → Plugins.
- Search for “Flutter” in the plugin repository.
- Click “Install” for the Flutter plugin. A dialog will prompt you to install the Dart plugin; click “Yes”.
- Restart Android Studio to apply changes.
After completing these steps, run flutter doctor again to verify if the issue persists.
Check and Update Environment Paths
Ensure that the Flutter SDK path is correctly added to your environment variables:
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/flutter/bin"Update the .bashrc file and run source .bashrc to refresh the environment variables.
Additional Solutions for Persistent Issues
If the error continues, consider the following steps:
- Switch to the beta channel and upgrade Flutter:
flutter channel beta flutter upgrade - Ensure that Android Studio and all plugins are up to date.
