Answer 2

First you need to switch master channel

flutter channel master

Then run

flutter upgrade

Enable Web support by running

flutter config --enable-web

Find installation path of chrome by running

which chrome

set an Environment variable to chrome's installation path. If your installed using AUR it will in /opt/google/chrome/chrome

export CHROME_EXECUTABLE=/opt/google/chrome/chrome

Finally run

flutter devices

You can see chrome as a connected device.

Answer 3

To use chrome or chromium on Linux(Manjaro), first you have to find their location.

Run the following command:

which chromium

My chromium is located at:

/usr/bin/chromium

If you wish to add this browser to Flutter, then you should add it to the CHROME_EXECUTABLE environment variable.

the following command needs to be placed in the .bashrc:

/usr/bin/chromium is my chromium location; add yours.

You can use nano:

nano .bashrc 

Add the following command and press Ctrl+x and then Y to make sure it has been saved.

export CHROME_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/chromium 

And finally run:

source .bashrc 

Now restart the previous open IDE and it should work. If you run:

flutter doctor

You should find it in the connected device.
