To set the Java version in Flutter, you can specify the path to the JDK directory using the flutter config
command. Follow these steps:
- Download and Install JDK:
- Download and install the required version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) if you haven’t already. You can get it from the Oracle website or use OpenJDK.
- Locate the JDK Directory:
- Once installed, locate the JDK directory on your system. Typically, this will be something like:
- Windows:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-<version>
- macOS/Linux:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-<version>/Contents/Home
or/usr/lib/jvm/java-<version>
- Windows:
- Once installed, locate the JDK directory on your system. Typically, this will be something like:
- Set the JDK Directory in Flutter:
- Open your terminal or command prompt.
- Run the following command, replacing
<DIRECTORY>
with the path to your JDK installation:flutter config --jdk-dir=<DIRECTORY>
Example:flutter config --jdk-dir="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.12/Contents/Home"
- Verify the Configuration:
- To ensure the JDK directory is set correctly, you can check the Flutter config with:bashCopy code
flutter config --list
You should see thejdk-dir
path listed in the output.
- To ensure the JDK directory is set correctly, you can check the Flutter config with:bashCopy code
This process allows you to set the Java version for Flutter development, ensuring compatibility with Flutter’s build system.
