#### Build natively compiled mobile, web and desktop apps from a single codebase

Flutter is an open-source SDK for building, testing, and deploying applications from a single codebase. Apps are written in Dart, which is included.

Key Features:

* Fast: Compiles to native ARM/x64 machine code for 60/120 fps performance.
* Productive: Iterate in milliseconds with Stateful Hot Reload.
* Flexible: Full pixel-level control with Material 3 and Cupertino widgets.
* Multi-Platform: Target iOS, Android, Web, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
* Extensible: Thousands of open-source packages on pub.dev.

Run `flutter doctor` after installing to check your setup.

From Linux you can build for Android, Linux, and the web. iOS and macOS
builds need a macOS host; Windows builds need Windows.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Flutter

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install Flutter

To install Flutter, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install flutter --classic
```
