What folder did you download the zip file to?
What is the output of flutter doctor -v if you run it with admin privileges?

@nao3301 The version of flutter that is first in your path is not in your Downloads folder:

Flutter version 0.3.2 at C:\Program Files\flutter

Flutter downloads into its cache folder so if you put it in Program Files then it's going to need Admin permissions. I recommend removing it from Program Files (and the corresponding entry from your PATH).

This issue is fixed in master with #17975. When running from a folder where you don't have write permissions (such as Program Files run as non-Admin) you'll get an error message explaining what's up.

It's not recommended to run as Admin; you should move Flutter to somewhere your user can run without elevated privileges.

@mohabmm it's not clear from your screenshot or Flutter output exactly what the problem is that you're seeing - this issue was about the flutter command not working, but you've posted text showing flutter doctor providing some output. If you're having issues, please open a new issue with a clear description of what's not working and we can take a look. Thanks!

Am having this same issue on a mac
Flutter failed to create a directory at "/Users/mac/.config/flutter". The flutter tool cannot access the file or directory.
Please ensure that the SDK and/or project is installed in a location that has read/write permissions for the current user.
