Solution 1

You might have missed step from linux desktop support. It is because you're trying to run project which is initial build from different platform (eg. mac/windows). This is according to official documentation. flutter_add_linux

Another solution is create new app by flutter create repo_name on linux. Then copy linux folder into existing repo. This will fix your problem.

Solution 2

you have to manually add desktop support for existing apps

run: flutter create . to add the necessary dependencies.

Solution 3

To add desktop support to an existing Flutter project, run the following command in a terminal from the root project directory:

flutter create --platforms=windows,macos,linux .

src : https://flutter.dev/desktop#add-desktop-support-to-an-existing-flutter-app

Solution 4

While run desktop app error

solution:

To add desktop support to an existing Flutter project, run the following command in a terminal from the root project directory:

Here we add full desktop support

flutter create --platforms=windows,macos,linux .

Only need Windows

flutter create --platforms=windows .

Only need Linux

flutter create --platforms=linux .

Tip:

flutter create myapp
cd myapp

just for who get error after running this command, need to include --org parameter if you changed the package name.
