Flutter command not found / flutter doctor

Question

What I've tried: Adding/ editing the .bash_profile.rtf file to where the flutter SDK is contained.. export PATH=/Users/temur/Documents/Projects/Flutter/tools/flutter/bin:$PATH

after this, I try to run flutter doctor on terminal I get command not found.

even in the path.

Now, if I just copy+ paste the above command in terminal, it works. Though, it only works until the terminal is exited.

Any way for terminal to read the bash profile file?

Solution

Figured it out; entered command: echo $PATH

spit out; /Users/temur/Projects/Flutter/tools/flutter/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin:/Library/Apple/bin:/usr/local/share/dotnet:~/.dotnet/tools:/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands

which was different than the one that should be in my .bash_profile

/Users/temur/Documents/Projects/Flutter/tools/flutter/bin

Had to change this in my bash profile file.

Also, reverting my terminal to bash from zsh helped.

I'm sorry to ask since I only use Windows currently, which OS are you on? Either way, you can find how to upate the PATH permanently here for linux: link and here for macOS link

@JuanV I have mac, and I've done that where it says you have to place that in the bash_prfile.rtf file

Thanks, could you post the contents of your $HOME/.bashrc (or $HOME/.zshrc for Catalina) on your question?

[Admin]

this is my out put for trying to set $HOME. Though, it resets everytime I exit terminal

[Admin]

temur@Temurs-MacBook-Pro ~ % which flutter flutter not found temur@Temurs-MacBook-Pro ~ % source $HOME/.bash_profile temur@Temurs-MacBook-Pro ~ % which flutter /Users/temur/Documents/Projects/Flutter/tools/flutter/bin/fl‌​utter temur@Temurs-MacBook-Pro ~ % flutter doctor

Yes, it will be gone if you set it like that. You have to open the .bashrc file with a text editor and add (export PATH="$PATH:=/Users/temur/Documents/Projects/Flutter/tools/f‌​lutter/bin") then save the file, then the next time you open a new terminal it should be available.

[Admin]

hmm its still the same case

[Juan V]

To get help, I recommend you edit your original question and post the contents of your bashrc file to see exactly what you added.

[Admin]

in my bash profile file: export PATH="$PATH:/Users/temur/Documents/Projects/Flutter/tools/fl‌​utter/bin"
