Flutter SDK is an excellent tool for developing cross-platform applications from a single codebase. So, it's no surprise that many professionals and learners have decided to gain mastery over Flutter concepts.

One such concept is state management, and many, despite having intermediate-to-advanced proficiency in Flutter, still struggle with this concept. This course will help you learn and master the best practices for state management in Flutter.

You will learn to use the two best Flutter libraries, Riverpod and Provider, for state management. You will even learn about reducing widget rebuilds by managing their state.

Master State Management in Flutter

For local Flutter setup, our first task is to install the Flutter framework. Next, to download and install Flutter, we need to go to the [Flutter installation page](https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install).

Clicking on the download button will download the `flutter_linux_2.2.3-stable.tar.xz` file in your `Downloads` folder. 

Next, we will issue the following command to extract Flutter on our terminal:

We can now copy this extracted `flutter` directory to a suitable place to build our first mobile application. In the `Documents` directory, we have created another directory named `development`. We will keep the extracted `flutter` directory there. 

Just like Windows 10, we will now set the global path for Flutter so that we can use the `flutter` command anywhere in our machine in the future. The commands are identical for any macOS or Linux operating system.

We will use `Vim` or `nano` text editor, which works on the terminal. The nano text editor will open up the `bashrc` file if we type the following command:
