Setup

Add the tool to a Flutter project:

flutter pub add dev:flutterpi_tools_mac

Then run it from that project:

flutter pub run flutterpi_tools_mac --help

flutterpi_tools_mac is deeply integrated with Flutter internals and depends on flutter_tools, so compatibility is tied to Flutter SDK versions. Prebuilt flutter-pi engine artifacts are also tied to exact Flutter engine hashes. If your Flutter SDK is newer than the latest available flutter-pi artifact release, use the newest Flutter SDK listed in the ardera/flutter-ci releases.
