This tutorial shows you how to downgrade or upgrade Flutter SDK version using various methods.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you install Flutter SDK on your computer, you’ll install the latest stable version by default. For some reason, you may want to use an older version. As an example, if the code cannot be run using the latest stable version. On the contrary, sometimes you may want to try new features of a pre-release version. As a result, you need to change the used Flutter SDK version. Previously, Flutter has downgrade<\/code> command. Unfortunately, it can’t be used anymore in the newer versions. However, there are some alternatives for changing the SDk version which can be found in this tutorial.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before changing the version, you can check the current version by using the command below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

flutter \u2013version<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Upgrade\/Downgrade by Changing Flutter Repository Branch<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Changing the used Flutter version can be done by changing the git branch to a specific version. First of all, you have to go to the Flutter SDK directory. The location may vary based on the operating system and how you install it. For example, if you installed the SDK using snap on Ubuntu, by default the directory should be \/home\/username\/snap\/flutter\/common\/flutter<\/code>. You can use the command below to check the SDK path.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

flutter sdk-path<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then, go to the SDK directory using terminal (or you can use git GUI client too). I assume you’ve installed git on your computer. If you don’t have git installed, you need to install it first. By default, you should be on the stable<\/code> branch. You can use the git branch<\/code> command to see the list of available branches. Each version has its own branch, so you can just checkout to a specific version using git checkout {branchName}<\/code> command. For example, to change the version to 1.22.0, you can use the command below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

git checkout 1.22.0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After that, run any Flutter command such as flutter --version<\/code> or flutter doctor<\/code> which causes Flutter to perform download and compile for the selected version.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Upgrade\/Downgrade by Changing Flutter Channel<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Flutter has some channels, which can be seen by using flutter channel command. As for now, the available channels are<\/p>\n
