How to change the path for Flutter SDK

So far I have downloaded two different version for the flutter SDK.

One is v2.10.2 and another is v2.5.3.

Currently Flutter is installed in my Linux system with v2.10.2 but the version 2.5.3 is required to run the old flutter project.

So, I required to downgrade the flutter version. So, How can I change the Path for the flutter SDK from terminal ?

I have tried below way :

export PATH="$PATH:/home/jaiminmodi/snap/flutter/common/v2.5.3/flutter_linux_2.5.3-stable/flutter/bin"

But still while checking flutter version its showing 2.10.0

What might be the issue ? Thanks.

I suggest you to use fvm

Now create one folder named aliases.

Create two batch windows files named flutter and flutter253. In my case, it's flutter and flutter1226.

Now edit both files using notepad and add the following line. for the latest version add code (Add your latest flutter version bin path)

@echo off
D:\"Program files"\flutter\bin\flutter %*

for another version add the following code (Add your v2.5.3 flutter version bin path in my case it was v1.22.6 means flutter1226 folder bin path you will be flutter253)

@echo off
D:\"Program files"\flutter1226\bin\flutter %*

Now add aliases folder path in your user and system path environment variables like the following (I highlighted the image)

1. User

2. System

Congrats! it's done now you can you both versions by running commands like

flutter --version and
flutter253 --version in my case it's flutter1226 --version

Now to add it's in your vscode do as the following image

1. go to settings and search dart SDK

2. by clicking the flutter version below you can change the SDK version.
