Hello Dart: Introduction to Programming

Installation

To start programming we need…

  • the Dart Editor and
  • the Hello Dart scenarios.

Dart Editor Installation

  1. Download the Dart Editor here.
  2. Unzip the downloaded files to your hard drive.
Note: Dart Editor requires Java 6 or higher. [Download the JRE](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/), if needed. For other problems with the installation, see Troubleshooting Dart Editor.

What’s Included with Dart Editor?

Dart Editor
Dart Editor is a simple but powerful editor. You can conveniently create, edit, and manage Dart projects with it.
Dartium
A special version of Chromium that includes the Dart VM. You can use Dartium to test and debug your Dart web applications. The Dart Editor will automatically open Dartium when you run your projects.
Dart SDK
The directory dart-sdk contains the Dart VM, standard libraries, and command-line tools.

Starting Dart Editor

Dart Editor Executable Start the Dart Editor by double-clicking the executable file in the installation folder.
