Determine your Flutter SDK installation location
Copy the absolute path to the directory that you downloaded and extracted the Flutter SDK into. 1.Navigate to the environment variables settings
1. Press Windows + Pause. If your keyboard lacks a Pause key, try Windows + Fn + B. The **System > About** dialog opens. 1. Click **Advanced System Settings** > **Advanced** > **Environment Variables...**. The **Environment Variables** dialog opens. 1.Add the Flutter SDK bin to your path
1. In the **User variables for (username)** section of the **Environment Variables** dialog, look for the **Path** entry. 1. If the **Path** entry exists, double-click it. The **Edit Environment Variable** dialog should open. 1. Double-click inside an empty row. 1. Type the path to the `bin` directory of your Flutter installation. For example, if you downloaded Flutter into a `develop\flutter` folder inside your user directory, you'd type the following: ```plaintext %USERPROFILE%\develop\flutter\bin ``` 1. Click the Flutter entry you added to select it. 1. Click **Move Up** until the Flutter entry sits at the top of the list. 1. To confirm your changes, click **OK** three times. {: type="a"} 1. If the entry doesn't exist, click **New...**. The **Edit Environment Variable** dialog should open. 1. In the **Variable Name** box, type `Path`. 1. In the **Variable Value** box, type the path to the `bin` directory of your Flutter installation. For example, if you downloaded Flutter into a `develop\flutter` folder inside your user directory, you'd type the following: ```plaintext %USERPROFILE%\develop\flutter\bin ``` 1. To confirm your changes, click **OK** three times. {: type="a"} 1.Apply your changes
To apply this change and get access to the `flutter` tool, close and reopen all open command prompts, sessions in your terminal apps, and IDEs. 1.Validate your setup
To ensure you successfully added the SDK to your `PATH`, open command prompt or your preferred terminal app, then try running the `flutter` and `dart` tools. ```console $ flutter --version $ dart --version ``` If either command isn't found, check out [Flutter installation troubleshooting][troubleshoot]. {: .steps} [troubleshoot]: /install/troubleshoot

The following steps assume you're
using the [default shell][zsh-mac] on macOS, Zsh.
If you use another shell besides Zsh,

1. ` with the path to your Flutter SDK installation.
```bash
export PATH="/bin:$PATH"

For example, if you downloaded Flutter into a
`develop/flutter` folder inside your user directory,
you'd add the following to the file:
```bash
export PATH="$HOME/develop/flutter/bin:$PATH"
```
1.
Determine your Flutter SDK installation location
Copy the absolute path to the directory that you downloaded and extracted the Flutter SDK into. 1.Open or create the Zsh environment variable file
If it exists, open the [Zsh environment variable file][zsh-files] `~/.zprofile` in your preferred text editor. If it doesn't exist, create the `~/.zprofile` file. 1.Add the Flutter SDK bin to your path
At the end of your `~/.zprofile` file, use the built-in `export` command to update the `PATH` variable to include the `bin` directory of your Flutter installation. Replace `Save your changes
Save, then close, the `~/.zprofile` file you edited. 1.Apply your changes
To apply this change and get access to the `flutter` tool, close and reopen all open Zsh sessions in your terminal apps and IDEs. 1.Validate your setup
To ensure you successfully added the SDK to your `PATH`, open a Zsh session in your preferred terminal, then try running the `flutter` and `dart` tools. ```console $ flutter --version $ dart --version ``` If either command isn't found, check out [Flutter installation troubleshooting][troubleshoot]. {: .steps} [zsh-mac]: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102360 [zsh-files]: https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Intro/intro_3.html [other-path]: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-adding-path/ [troubleshoot]: /install/troubleshoot

Determine your Flutter SDK installation location
Copy the absolute path to the directory that you downloaded and extracted the Flutter SDK into. 1.Determine your default shell
If you don't know what shell you use, check which shell starts when you open a new console window. ```console $ echo $SHELL ``` 1.Add the Flutter SDK bin to your path
To add the `bin` directory of your Flutter installation to your `PATH`: 1. Expand the instructions for your default shell. 1. Copy the provided command. 1. Replace `Expand for bash instructions
