[FIXED] How to setup multiple flutter versions on mac?

Issue

I want to install both flutter v1.22.6 and v2.0.5 on my mac.

currently I have v1.22.6 set up on my mac and have path for it set aswell.

I want a setup where if I enter the command flutter doctor that corresponds to v1.22.6 and when I enter the command flutter2 doctor that corresponds to v2.0.5

I am new to the terminal can someone please help? as of now flutter doctor corresponds to v1.22.6 only. I tried setting a path for flutter2 but that shows as no command found

Solution

You need to create alias

1. Navigate to your home directory:

   cd ~

2. Open up .bash_profile using vi:

   vi .bash_profile or vim .bash_profile

3. Add an alias (press i):

   alias flutter2="~/place_of_folder/flutter2/bin/flutter"

4. Save the file (press Escape, type :wq, and hit Enter)

5. Restart Terminal
