Trying to add path to locate flutter to run "flutter doctor" to solve "zsh: command not found: flutter"

701

You're trying to open your bash_profile using nano (text editor) which you don't have installed. You can open that file using any text editor you have. Also, I see you're using zsh and not bash, this means that you should actually edit your ~/.zshrc or ~/.zprofile instead and add

PATH=</path/to/flutter>:$PATH

where you replace </path/to/flutter> with the actual path to flutter on your machine. You can do this if you don't want to add it manually:

echo 'export PATH=</path/to/flutter>:$PATH' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

again, replacing </path/to/flutter> with your actual flutter path.

    Trying to add path to locate flutter so 'flutter doctor' can be run, to solve zsh: command not found: flutter, then I found that creating below is first step to solution, but again terminal says nano ~/.bash_profile zsh: command not found: nano

    then trying to create bash profile also not working, may be it's existing, but somehow it says below. $HOME/.bash_profile zsh: permission denied: /Users/prettygirl/.bash_profile

    terminal is given full file access in macOS restarted my macmini vscode quitted and restarted, terminal quitted and restarted

    problem still persists. Is there any way to add path variables easily than going through all this hassle with terminal? like macos menu or something to add system path variables?

    still does not work and when I check it with echo $PATH it shows repeated paths, how to delete other ones? /Users/prettygirl/FlutterSDK/flutter/bin:/Users/prettygirl/F‌​lutterSDK/flutter/bi‌​n:“/Users/prettygirl‌​/FlutterSDK/flutter/‌​bin:@PATH:/Users/pre‌​ttygirl/FlutterSDK/f‌​lutter/bin”
