You need to edit you Zsh or bash profile. macOS Catalina uses the Z shell by default, so edit $HOME/.zshrc.

If you are using a different shell, the file path and filename will be different on your machine.

PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY == Location to your flutter SDK file.

To edit $HOME/.zshrc:

open Terminal
copy and paste nano $HOME/.zshrc
copy next line and paste it at bottom

export PATH="[PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY]/flutter/bin:$PATH"
Edit your [PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY].

It will look something like this--> for example:

export PATH="/Users/flutter/bin:$PATH"

press CTRL X and when it asked you to save the file, choose yes.
Close and Restart the Terminal and try running flutter doctor

Verify that the flutter/bin directory is now in your PATH by running:

echo $PATH

[PATH_TO_FLUTTER_GIT_DIRECTORY] is where you installed flutter SDK.

Instead of nano, you can use any text editor to edit ~/.bash_profile or .zshrc
