Fedora 28 : Starting develop with Flutter .

Today I started with another programming language Dart and Flutter.
The development team tell us about Flutter:
Flutter is Google's mobile UI framework for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
You can read more about this on official webpage:
About linux setup you can read here.
You need also to download the Android Studio I.D.E from official webpage.
You need to install some packages using dnf tool:
[mythcat@desk ~]# dnf install libstdc++.i686
[mythcat@desk ~]#  dnf install curl
Unzip theAndroid Studio I.D.E.into android-studio folder and start it to make settings for android SDK and AVD emulated device:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd android-studio/
[mythcat@desk android-studio]$ ls 
bin        gradle                 jre  license      NOTICE.txt
build.txt  Install-Linux-tar.txt  lib  LICENSE.txt  plugins
[mythcat@desk android-studio]$ cd bin/
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ls
appletviewer.policy  idea.properties  printenv.py         studio.sh
format.sh            inspect.sh       restart.py          studio.vmoptions
fsnotifier           lldb             studio64.vmoptions
fsnotifier64         log.xml          studio.png
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ./studio.sh 
Select Plugins to add Dart and Flotter plugins:
You need to install Dart and Flotter plugins, use search:

Download and unarchive the Flutter from official webpage.
Next steps is to set the path for the Flutter and make settings for android licenses:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ export PATH=`pwd`/flutter/bin:$PATH
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd flutter/
[mythcat@desk flutter]$ ls
analysis_options_repo.yaml  bin              flutter_console.bat  README.md
analysis_options.yaml       CONTRIBUTING.md  LICENSE              version
appveyor.yml                dev              packages
AUTHORS                     examples         PATENTS
[mythcat@desk flutter]$ cd bin/
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ls
cache  flutter  flutter.bat  internal
[mythcat@desk bin]$ ./flutter doctor --android-licenses
