## Verifying Your Installation

After installing Flutter, verify your setup:

### Check Flutter Version

``` bash
flutter --version
```

You should see output similar to:

```
Flutter 3.24.0 • channel stable
Dart SDK version: 3.10.7
```

### Update Flutter (if needed)

If your Flutter version is below 3.24.0, upgrade to the latest stable release:

``` bash
flutter channel stable
flutter upgrade
```

### Run Flutter Doctor

Verify your development environment is properly configured:

``` bash
flutter doctor -v
```

This command checks for:
- Flutter SDK installation
- Android toolchain (for Android development)
- Xcode (for iOS/macOS development)
- Connected devices
- IDE plugins

Fix any issues reported before proceeding with Nylo installation.
