” in the command line to generate a new Flutter project. - To run a Flutter application, go to the project directory and execute the command “flutter run” to install and run your application on a simulator or connected device.
- Edit your Flutter application: Open the project folder with your preferred editor (such as Visual Studio Code) and make changes to the lib/main.dart file in order to modify your application.
