How to manage the Flutter Version Management(FVM)

Nowadays, we are working on more than one Flutter project simultaneously. Every project has a different version, so can we change the version in environment variables while switching to other projects? Have you ever faced this issue? If yes, we can go to Flutter version management (FVM) to avoid the situation. Let’s discuss the steps given below.

Install FVM

Before going to install Flutter version, Open command prompt as a administrator, run the below command:

dart pub global activate fvm

Check whether the warning has occurred above mentioned image, go to environmental variables, put the above mentioned path under the path in system variables, after that you may restart the cmd. Run the below command for installing stable version of Flutter version.

FVM install stable

After giving this command it will take some time to install the version.

Then check the command as “FVM list” for list of Flutter versions which we are using, but as of now we were not using any kind of FVM version, we were just only installed yet.

Configuration

Run the command as “fvm global stable” for globally set the Flutter version to use any projects.

After run this command, you can copy the fvm path into environmental variable, under the user variables,

Then go to project directory, run the command as “fvm use stable” after running this command you will see the one folder that was created inside your project which include one sdk folder and one fvmconfig.json file, open this file that says your current version of your Flutter version.

Summary

In conclusion, Flutter Version Management is an essential tool in the Flutter development environment. Its ability to manage multiple Flutter SDK versions simplifies your development process and increases productivity and consistency. Whether you’re a solo developer or part of a bigger team, adopting Flutter Version Management into your workflow may significantly streamline Flutter version management, allowing you to focus on building great applications.
