I'm kind of new to flutter, and I'm initiating VS studio as my IDE, I'm trying to search for the Flutter and Dart plugins to download but for some reason I can't find them on visual studio. (I'm following FreeCodeCamp course for flutter as reference )

CodePudding user response：

Firstly, Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are different IDE's, so make sure you are adding the code part.

In the extension menu, search flutter, and it's the first one.

Make sure you have VS Code and not VS. The icon for VS Code is blue while VS is purple.

CodePudding user response：

Most of the user uses VS Code, make sure you are using VS code to get the Flutter extension and Visual Studio.

Follow this link to download VScode: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
