Flutter plugin not installed error; When running ‘flutter doctor’

by

I am configuring the Flutter SDK on my Linux Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) system. Why am I getting the following error when I run the flutter doctor?

I have specified both PATHS for flutter and dart in the .bashrc file, but I get this error when I run flutter doctor:

Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
[✓] Flutter (Channel beta, v0.5.1, on Linux, locale en_US.UTF-8)

[✓] Android Studio (version 3.1)
    ✗ Flutter plugin not installed; this adds Flutter specific functionality.

Safe fix for Mac (Android Studio 4.1+). It is in a different directory now, but the symbolic link helps.

Just run this command in the Terminal:

ln -s ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/plugins ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio4.1

If you have a different Android Studio version or an installation folder, adjust the command accordingly.
