Flutter
- Change terminal shell
If you are using a Mac computer with the macOS Catalina operating system, your installation requires a few extra steps.
-
Check your macOS version: Go to the Apple icon at the top left, then select About This Mac. If the version is macOS Catalina then you should continue to the steps below. If it's lower than 10.15 e.g. 10.14 (Mojave) or 10.13 (High Sierra) then you are fine to go.
-
Open up Terminal
-
Change your Terminal shell to zsh If your terminal use Bash as default shell: Then you can remove the message by going to Terminal --> Preferences and changing the "Shells open with" to the "Command" radio button and change the text to /bin/zsh and hit enter.
-
Confirm you are using zsh Close down Terminal and re-open it using Spotlight (see Step 2). Check the shell that is used in this new window by typing the following command into the Terminal and hit enter. echo $SHELL
The reason why we have to do this is because of licensing changes. You can read more about it here: Why does macOS Catalina use Zsh instead of Bash? Licensing thenextweb.com/dd/2019/06/…
