A flutter wrapper

One easy command to manage and install flutter

Just run flutterup to install the flutter SDK or upgrade it

How does it work

flutterup installs symlinks in /usr/bin for the following binaries:

• flutter
• dart

linking to /usr/bin/flutterup

When flutter or dart is run, flutterup will install the real target if it is not found, by cloning it from github.

Why did I create this project

It was difficult for me to package fluffychat.

One can clone flutter to ~/.cache, but once in a while, it could be wiped or recloned.

And flutter cannot be installed as root, because it needs to use a .git directory to be updated and to work flawlessly.

And flutter works very much like snap, in that regard, this made me quite unhappy.

Configuration

It will read its configuration file at ~/.config/flutterup/config.toml

The syntax is like this

branch = "stable"
flutter_sdk_dir = "/where/you/want/flutter/to/clone"

TODO

• rustyline cli
  • people could be able to choose the branch to clone to use a different channel
  • Install command could have options, like linux or something else
• better error messages
• meson build script
