The Dart SDK has the libraries and command-line tools that you need to develop Dart web, command-line, and server apps. To get the Dart SDK, see Get Dart.
If you’re developing only mobile apps, then you don’t need the Dart SDK; just install Flutter.
To learn about other tools you can use for Dart development, see the Dart tools page.
