Flutter SDK overview

The Flutter SDK has the packages and command-line tools that you need to develop Flutter apps across platforms. To get the Flutter SDK, see Install.

The following is available through the Flutter SDK:

• Dart SDK
• Heavily optimized, mobile-first 2D rendering engine with excellent support for text
• Modern react-style framework
• Rich set of widgets implementing Material Design and iOS styles
• APIs for unit and integration tests
• Interop and plugin APIs to connect to the system and 3rd-party SDKs
• Headless test runner for running tests on Windows, Linux, and Mac
• Flutter DevTools for testing, debugging, and profiling your app
• flutter and dart command-line tools for creating, building, testing, and compiling your apps

Note: For more information about the Flutter SDK, see its README file.

The flutter CLI tool (flutter/bin/flutter) is how developers (or IDEs on behalf of developers) interact with Flutter.

The dart CLI tool is available with the Flutter SDK at flutter/bin/dart.
