To run a Dart application, you need to have the Dart SDK installed on your machine. Here's a step-by-step guide to running a Dart application:
1. Install the Dart SDK : Visit the Dart SDK website (
https://dart.dev/get-dart
) and follow the installation instructions for your specific operating system.
2. Write your Dart code : Create a new Dart file or open an existing one in a text editor or an integrated development environment (IDE) like Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEA. Write your Dart code in the file with a `
.dart
` extension.
For example, create a file named `
hello.dart
` and add the following code:
void main() {
print('Hello, Dart!');
}​
3. Open the command-line interface : Open a terminal or command prompt on your machine.
4. Navigate to the directory : Use the `
cd
` command to navigate to the directory where your Dart file is located. For example, if your `
hello.dart
` file is located in the `
dart_projects
` folder on your desktop, you can use the following command:
cd ~/Desktop/dart_projects​
5. Run the Dart application : In the command-line interface, use the `
dart
` command followed by the name of your Dart file to run the application. For example, to run the `
hello.dart
` file, use the following command:
dart hello.dart​
You should see the output of your Dart application in the terminal :
Hello, Dart!​
