You missed this step in the installation process.

Install the Flutter and Dart plugins:

• Select Browse repositories, select the Flutter plugin and click Install.
• Click Yes when prompted to install the Dart plugin.
• Click Restart when prompted.

If are using Visual Studio Code, to Install the Flutter and Dart plugins:

• Start VS Code.
• Invoke View → Command Palette.
• Type install, and select Extensions: Install Extensions.
• Type flutter in the extensions search field, select Flutter in the list, and click Install. This also installs the required Dart plugin.
• Validate your setup with the Flutter Doctor
• Invoke View → Command Palette….
• Type doctor, and select the Flutter: Run Flutter Doctor.

Review the output in the OUTPUT pane for any issues.
