Installation help

[CripyIce]

Hi there,
I can't seem to use this library.

1. I've added spider: ^0.3.6 to my pubspec.yaml and hit Packages get.
2. Open Terminal and running pub global activate spider command with the following error:

bash: pub: command not found

3. Tried also spider --help and got:

bash: spider: command not found

@CripyIce
I found the solution
1- In your terminal nano .zshrc if you use zsh terminal
2-Add the path you will find in the warning message while activate spider
3-CTRL+O to save
4-CTRL+X to exit

@CripyIce You don't need to add it to your pubspec.yaml file. It is a command line app. You can install it using the pub command. If you're unable to run pub commands, checkout @amreniouinnovent 's answer.

It appears that I had to run flutter pub global activate spider because I followed the flutter installation guide and haven't installed dart separatley.
Even after running the command and adding the export path to my shell config file I still had an issue with spider since it's trying to run internal commands using the dart command which is not recognized by Mac OS because as I mentioned above - I didn't installed dart on my mac since I installed only flutter.

What I did eventually is installing dart using Homebrew and everything went smooth.

I think that it should be mentioned that users using only flutter should install dart to get everything working.

Thanks for the help anyway!

@CripyIce dart sdk is in Flutter folder
Flutter_SDK\bin\cache\dart-sdk\bin

@CripyIce Dart SDK already comes with Flutter installation. You just need to add it in your path. see @amorenew 's answer for the path.
