flutter-linux-setup

Goal

Configures a Linux environment (Debian/Ubuntu or ChromeOS) for Flutter desktop application development by installing required system prerequisites, managing OS-specific configurations, and validating the toolchain.

Decision Logic

• If OS is ChromeOS: Require manual enablement of Linux support before proceeding to package installation.
• If OS is Debian/Ubuntu: Proceed directly to apt-get package updates and installations.
• If OS is non-Debian (e.g., Fedora, Arch): Halt and inform the user that this skill specifically targets apt-get package managers.

Instructions

1. Determine the Host Operating System: STOP AND ASK THE USER: "Are you setting up this Flutter environment on a standard Debian/Ubuntu Linux distribution, or on a Chromebook (ChromeOS)?"

2. Handle ChromeOS Prerequisites (Conditional): If the user indicates they are on a Chromebook: Instruct the user to navigate to their ChromeOS Settings, turn on "Linux development environment", and ensure it is fully updated. STOP AND ASK THE USER: "Please confirm once Linux support is enabled and updated so we can proceed with the package installation."
