Error: No pubspec.yaml file found when running flutter for the first time

Question

I tried to follow Get Stated here https://flutter.io/setup-windows/

And got

>flutter run
Error: No pubspec.yaml file found.
This command should be run from the root of your Flutter project.
Do not run this command from the root of your git clone of Flutter.

How to fix?

Answer 1

You are not in the current working directory. Change the directory to your project directory and then run >>flutter run so that it could find pubspec.yaml.

Answer 2

• Download the zip file (Assuming you have already done this)
• Extract this zip to a safe place say "E://flutter/"
• Open CMD and goto your workspace folder where to usually create your projects.
• Run command flutter create <project_name>
• cd <project_name>
• Run command flutter run

Alternatively, you can always use a good IDE like Intellij or Android Studio which will automate such configs like @Rechard said.
