How do you install pub "zsh: command not found: pub" within Flutter application?

Question

I am just starting to learn Flutter. I come from an Angular background and used yarn, npm, which can be installed by brew. I am familiar with these package managers but not pub.

How do you install pub so the command works globally?

Looking for a command line to run.

I am on macOS Catalina

This is what I've tried so far:

I am trying to install the http package with: pub get

however I get this error: zsh: command not found: pub

I then tried to install pub with this line: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dart/bin/pub /usr/bin/pub

And get this error: ln: /usr/bin/pub: Operation not permitted

I then tried to install sudo by running: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/diskutil unmountDisk force /dev/disk1

Then I get this error: Forced unmount of disk1 failed: at least one volume could not be unmounted

As I am going down this rabbit hole - I thought I would see if you guys had any suggestions!

Answer 1

Use flutter pub <command> or dart pub <command> e.g. flutter pub getinstead of trying to usepub` directly.

Flutter maintains its own version of Dart internally and unless you've installed Dart explicitly pub will not be available in your PATH.

Edit

Standalone pub is deprecated and removed.
