3. Type in 'export PATH=$PATH:/flutter_sdk_path/flutter/bin' where flutter_sdk_path is the path to your Flutter SDK installation. For example: 'export PATH=$PATH:/Users/YourUserName/flutter/bin'
   • Note: Replace 'YourUserName' with your Mac user name.
4. Press 'Ctrl + X' to save and exit the file.
5. Type 'source ~/.bash_profile' and press Enter to apply the changes.
6. Verify that the Flutter SDK path has been set up correctly by typing 'flutter doctor' in Terminal. If the command is recognized and executed without any errors, the Flutter SDK path has been configured correctly.

Conclusion
