Setting up your MacBook for mobile Flutter development

Flutter.dev

This month I'm trying to level up on my mobile development skills by learning Flutter with and end goal of building a mobile search application. The first step was setting up a functional local dev environment on my laptop. I realized that there would be a few steps, but I didn't anticipate needing SIX different languages to get up and running!
