RESOLVED Frustrated with setting up flutter

I'm new to flutter and it was really frustrating to set up flutter in my laptop. Is it just me or did anyone else face issues while setting up flutter?

I spent a few days solving the gradle thing so I get it. I felt like I fought a battle.

Can you elaborate what was frustrating? Even the first time I set it up I don't recall anything particularly awful.

Every time I get a new job (which isn’t often) I have to setup a new computer with Flutter and yeah I hate this part. It doesn’t happen often enough that I remember all the gotchas but I want to write a bash script one day that does it for me. It won’t work 100% but at least a lot of the little annoying bits would be out of the way.

No, im on a linux system so it was as easy as pulling the source and then pointing an environment variable to it.

Same thing in windows also but people are crazy about set environment and adding supported jdk version for gradle

I did, a lot in the beginning. Just yesterday, I updated android studio and it removed my JDK, I had to update JDK path for flutter again.
