To do a lot of interesting programming stuff using the Dart programming language, we have to install the Dart SDK. Dart SDK is a pre-compiled version so we have to download and extract it only.
In this article, we will learn how to perform Dart SDK Download.

Install Dart SDK in Windows
Step 1 : Download Dart SDK
Download Dart SDK from the Dart SDK archive page.
Use this Link to Dart SDK Download
Click on DART SDK to download SDK for Windows 64-Bit Architecture. The download will start and a zip file will be downloaded.
Note: To download SDK for any other OS select OS of your choice.
Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file and after extracting the contents of the zip file will be as shown:
Step 3 : Running Dart.
Now open the bin folder and type “cmd” as given below:
Command Prompt will open with our desired path of bin folder and now type “dart“.
Now we are ready to use the dart through the bin folder but setting up the path in environment variables will ease our task of Step 3 and we can run the dart from anywhere in the file system using the command prompt.
Another Method to Install Dart SDK Installation in Windows
To install Dart in the window system we will be using Chocolatey.
Step 1 : To install Dart
C:\> choco install dart-sdk
Step 2 : To Update Dart
C:\> choco upgrade dart-sdk
Setting Path in Environment Variables
Setting up path in environment variables. Open Environment Variables from advanced system settings and add Path in System Variables as depicted in the image:
Now we are done to use Dart from anywhere in the file system.
Step 3 : Run Dart Using cmd
Install Dart in Linux
Terminal Commands are responsible for the Installation of Applications in Linux. So, there are some fixed set of commands which can be used to install. Let us check these types of commands which are mentioned below:
Step 1 : Update and Upgrade the apt
It is a prerequisite for installing any application. Commands to Upgrade and Update apt are mentioned below:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade// Few older version will face issues while installtion so use
$ sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
Step 2 : Create a Dart Repository and Install GPG keys from Google
Create a Repository to store Dart and also install gpg keys from Google used to sign the Dart packages to your system’s list of trusted keys.
$ sudo sh -c 'wget -qO- https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -'
$ sudo sh -c 'wget -qO- https://storage.googleapis.com/download.dartlang.org/linux/debian/dart_stable.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dart_stable.list'
Step 3 : Install Dart
The final Step will be to install Dart in your Linux operated PC.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install dart
Setting the Path of Dart in Linux
Setting Path of Dart in Linux to execute the Dart Programs.
// Dart to your Path
$ export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/dart/bin"// Apply Changes
$ source ~/.bashrc// This command should display the installed Dart SDK version
$ dart --version
Install Dart in MacOs
We will install Dart in macOS using Homebrew.
Step 1 : Install Homebrew
Install Homebrew, and then run the following commands.
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Step 2 : Install Dart
Install Dart by running the commands mentioned below.
$ brew tap dart-lang/dart
$ brew install dart
Step 3 : Upgrade the new release of Dart
To upgrade when a new release of Dart is available:
$ brew upgrade dart
Step 4 : Verify Dart Installation
$ dart --version
Note : Flutter developers have Dart bundled with the Flutter SDK, eliminating the need for a separate installation.
With Dart configured, developers can create high-performance applications across various platforms, utilizing its efficient syntax and strong ecosystem.

Beta channel
Beta channel builds are preview builds for the stable channel.
We recommend testing, but not releasing, your apps against beta
to preview new features or test compatibility with future releases.
Beta channel builds are not suitable for production use.
Version:
OS:

Main channel
Main channel builds are the latest, raw builds from
the main branch of the Dart SDK repository.
These are the freshest builds available,
and they’re likely to contain bugs.
Main channel builds are suitable only for
experimental development use, not for production use.
To download a main channel build, use a
main channel URL.
Download URLs
You can download zip files for any channel.

In this tutorial, we will provide a step by step process to get Dart installed on Windows.
Dart SDK comes as a pre-compiled version. So, download and extracting is all you need to do.
Step 1: Download Dart SDK
Go to Dart SDK archive page.
The URL is https://dart.dev/tools/sdk/archive.
Click on the Dart SDK link. The download will start immediately and a zip file will be downloaded.
Step 2: Extract zip file
Extract the contents of Dart SDK zip file. The contents of the folder would be as shown below.
Step 3: Run Dart
You can run Dart command. Yeah!
Open command prompt and navigate to the bin folder.
Run the command dart.
Step 4: Add Dart Path to PATH Environment Variable
As of now, you can run dart command only from bin folder of dart sdk. To run dart command from anywhere in your file system, add dart bin path to PATH environment variable.
Open Environment Variables. Under System variables, click on Path and click Edit button.
Edit environment variable window appears. Click on New and paste the dart sdk bin path as shown below.
Click on OK. The changes will take effect if you restart your command prompt.
Step 5: Restart Command Prompt
Close the existing command prompt window and open a new command prompt.
Just run the dart command from any working directory. We shall run from D:\.
