flutter: The Flutter command-line tool

The reference page for using 'flutter' in a terminal window.

The flutter command-line tool is how developers (or IDEs on behalf of developers) interact with Flutter. For Dart related commands, you can use the dart command-line tool.

Here's how you might use the flutter tool to create, analyze, test, and run an app: 

flutter create my_app
cd my_app
flutter analyze
flutter test
flutter run lib/main.dart

To run pub commands using the flutter tool: 

flutter pub get
flutter pub outdated
flutter pub upgrade

To view all commands that flutter supports:

flutter --help --verbose

To get the current version of the Flutter SDK, including its framework, engine, and tools: 

flutter --version
