Once you select your operating system, whatever your choice, you will find a section called Get the Flutter SDK. Here, you will find a compressed file (.zip for Windows and macOS, and .tar.gz for Linux and ChromeOS).

You should then create a directory for the Flutter SDK, and extract the contents of the compressed file into that directory; for instance, this could be c:\dev\flutter on a Windows machine or ~/development on other platforms.
