Error creating flutter project on Visual Studio Code [duplicate]

Question

Hello, everyone, I'm on Windows using VS Code to discover Flutter. I have tried to open (create) a new project on Vs Code used terminal to do that but somehow i couldn't. The error is following: Cannot create a project within the Flutter SDK. Target directory C:\src\Flutter\flutter\projects\hello_world\study is within the Flutter SDK at C:\src\Flutter\flutter.

Btw in my flutter folder should i create a projects folder?

What about the error seems unclear to you? It seems to state clearly that you cannot do that, because your project would end up being within the Flutter SDK folder, which Flutter clearly disallows. Have you tried starting the project in some other, unrelated folder, e.g. in Documents? — underscore_d

It does but i tought i could create a projects folder in flutter folder. Should i delete it and create on C:\src\Projects ? and then i can store all language projects in that foler? I'm new to computer stuff — Ali Utku Tekin

You can create a project wherever Flutter lets you. It does NOT let you create it within its own source folder, as it says. It should be fine with the folder anywhere else you make it. — underscore_d

It is because you are trying to create a directory inside the Flutter SDK, as it says. Which means it is assuming that you are trying to modify (add/delete) something in the Flutter original code.

Instead, you can create a directory somewhere else - maybe out of C: or if you want it in C: do it somewhere here C:\src\yourDirectory.
