After the first release Flutter is being too obvious to avoid it, lots of people are talking about flutter, and the technology behind it is interesting enough to check out. I liked how it performs(a lot faster than other cross-platform competitors), documentation is also good, so I decided to give it a try. But I’m not fully satisfied with the installation procedure, You have to read a few paragraphs to just install but that could have been done through Homebrew / APT / Nuget or whatever(any other package manager) However unofficially it is possible to install Flutter through Homebrew on Mac. To do so follow next the next steps

Install Homebrew.

Run these on your terminal.

$ brew tap probablykasper/tap
$ brew cask install flutter
$ flutter upgrade
$ flutter doctor //to check the installtion

Finally, flutter doctor to verify.

Post-Installation:

flutter-sdk path will be

/usr/local/opt/flutter

dart-sdk path will be

/usr/local/opt/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk

You still need to install Xcode and Android emulator, etc.

And create your project pubspec, etc.
