Flutter is a free and open-source UI framework that was released in 2017 and originally developed by Google.
Flutter enables developers to create cross-platform applications using only one codebase. It is a fantastic tool for developers as it can drastically accelerate app development, reduce costs, and make cross-platform app updates easier.
You can make applications for Android, iOS, Windows, and Web just using a single codebase.
Step 1: Download ⬇ the Flutter SDK (Software Development Kit) package.

Suggested: Make a folder named src with the following path (C:\src) and extract the files there.
