Hi @ahagiwara, thanks for filing the issue.

This will make it easier for people to setup flutter.

Per https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/flutter, brew install flutter is now brew install --cask flutter.

@jacob314 : I believe we discussed this, but we don't maintain this cask, so can we include it in the instructions?

No. (Also, this is NOT an e0-minutes issue...)

We don't officially support homebrew installation of Flutter. We used to list this info on our install page, but there are too many engineering issues that must first be resolved and it was removed by Chris Fujino and approved and landed by Ian. You can read more about the engineering support needed on this issue.

However, some folks do use homebrew to install Flutter using an externally maintained cask. If you google "install Flutter homebrew" you will find info on StackOverflow and elsewhere. Just be warned that you will encounter issues if using brew to install on a read-only system.

Closing this issue.
