How to Install Dart on Slackware – Step by step

Installing

1. 2. Install required helpers

   Install curl and unzip to download and extract the official Dart SDK archive:

   sudo slackpkg install curl unzip

2. 3. Download the latest stable Dart SDK (official archive)

   Download the official Dart SDK archive. Replace the URL with a specific release if you want to pin a version.

   wget -qO /tmp/dartsdk.zip "https://storage.googleapis.com/dart-archive/channels/stable/release/latest/sdk/dartsdk-linux-x64-release.zip"

3. 5. Unpack and move the SDK to a system location

   Unzip the SDK and move it to /usr/lib/dart for a system-wide installation:

   unzip -q /tmp/dartsdk.zip -d /tmp

   sudo mv /tmp/dart-sdk /usr/lib/dart

4. 5. Set ownership and permissions

   Ensure the SDK files are readable and executable system-wide:

   sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/lib/dart

5. 6. Add Dart to the system PATH

   Create a profile script so all users can use the Dart tools:

   echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/dart/bin"' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/dart.sh >/dev/null

   sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/dart/bin/dart /usr/bin/dart

6. 7. Reload environment and verify

   Reload the profile (or log out/in) and confirm the installation:

   source /etc/profile.d/dart.sh

   dart --version

7. 8. Notes & troubleshooting

   If you need a pinned version, replace latest in the download URL with the specific release path from the official archive. For ARM or other architectures, download the matching SDK archive from the Dart archive.
