Dart SDK Installation

To do a lot of interesting programming stuff using the Dart programming language, we have to install the Dart SDK. Dart SDK is a pre-compiled version so we have to download and extract it only.

In this article, we will learn how to perform Dart SDK Download.

Install Dart SDK in Windows

Step 1 : Download Dart SDK

Download Dart SDK from the Dart SDK archive page.

Use this Link to Dart SDK Download

Click on DART SDK to download SDK for Windows 64-Bit Architecture. The download will start and a zip file will be downloaded.

Step 2 : Extract the downloaded zip file.

Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file and after extracting the contents of the zip file will be as shown:

Step 3 : Running Dart.

Now open the bin folder and type "cmd" as given below:

Command Prompt will open with our desired path of bin folder and now type "dart".

Now we are ready to use the dart through the bin folder but setting up the path in environment variables will ease our task of Step 3 and we can run the dart from anywhere in the file system using the command prompt.

Another Method to Install Dart SDK Installation in Windows

To install Dart in the window system we will be using Chocolatey.

Step 1 : To install Dart

C:\> choco install dart-sdk

Step 2 : To Update Dart

C:\> choco upgrade dart-sdk

Setting Path in Environment Variables

Setting up path in environment variables. Open Environment Variables from advanced system settings and add Path in System Variables as depicted in the image:

Now we are done to use Dart from anywhere in the file system.

Step 3 : Run Dart Using cmd

Install Dart in Linux

Terminal Commands are responsible for the Installation of Applications in Linux. So, there are some fixed set of commands which can be used to install. Let us check these types of commands which are mentioned below:

Step 1 : Update and Upgrade the apt

It is a prerequisite for installing any application. Commands to Upgrade and Update apt are mentioned below:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

// Few older version will face issues while installtion so use
$ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

Step 2 : Create a Dart Repository and Install GPG keys from Google

Create a Repository to store Dart and also install gpg keys from Google used to sign the Dart packages to your system's list of trusted keys.

$ sudo sh -c 'wget -qO- https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -'
$ sudo sh -c 'wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/download.dartlang.org/linux/debian/dart_stable.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dart_stable.list'

Step 3 : Install Dart

The final Step will be to install Dart in your Linux operated PC.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install dart

Setting the Path of Dart in Linux

Setting Path of Dart in Linux to execute the Dart Programs.

// Dart to your Path
$ export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/dart/bin"

// Apply Changes
$ source ~/.bashrc

// This command should display the installed Dart SDK version 
$ dart --version

Install Dart in MacOs

We will install Dart in macOS using Homebrew.

Step 1 : Install Homebrew

Install Homebrew, and then run the following commands.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Step 2 : Install Dart

Install Dart by running the commands mentioned below.

$ brew tap dart-lang/dart
$ brew install dart

Step 3 : Upgrade the new release of Dart

To upgrade when a new release of Dart is available:

$ brew upgrade dart

Step 4 : Verify Dart Installation

$ dart --version

Note : Flutter developers have Dart bundled with the Flutter SDK, eliminating the need for a separate installation.

With Dart configured, developers can create high-performance applications across various platforms, utilizing its efficient syntax and strong ecosystem.
