Fast development

Flutter's hot reload helps you quickly and easily experiment, build UIs, add features, and fix bugs faster. Experience sub-second reload times, without losing state, on emulators, simulators, and hardware for iOS and Android.

Quick-start

A brief summary of the getting started guide:

• install the Flutter SDK
• run flutter doctor from the command line to verify your installation
• ensure you have a supported IntelliJ development environment; either:
  • the latest stable version of IntelliJ, Community or Ultimate Edition (EAP versions are not always supported)
  • the latest stable version of Android Studio (note: Android Studio Canary versions are generally not supported)
• open the plugin preferences
  • Preferences > Plugins on macOS, File > Settings > Plugins on Linux, select "Browse repositories…"
• search for and install the 'Flutter' plugin
• choose the option to restart IntelliJ
• configure the Flutter SDK setting
  • Preferences on macOS, File>Settings on Linux, select Languages & Frameworks > Flutter, and set
    the path to the root of your flutter repo

Known issues

Please note the following known issues:

• #601: IntelliJ will
  read the PATH variable just once on startup. Thus, if you change PATH later to
  include the Flutter SDK path, this will not have an affect in IntelliJ until you
  restart the IDE.
• If you require network access to go through proxy settings, you will need to set the
  https_proxy variable in your environment as described in the
  pub docs.

Dev Channel

If you like getting new features as soon as they've been added to the code then you might want to try out the dev channel. It is updated weekly with the latest contents from the "master" branch. It has minimal testing. Set up instructions are in the wiki's dev channel page.
