  4. Follow default path C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2022.3, not check all options as suggested, and also keep JetBrains for Start Menu Folder.
  5. Close the Setup Window.

In the afternoon found information the difference beteween Kotlin and Flutter and it seems easier to use the last one, at least more clear in the installation and requirements and also while build an application. I believe to uninstall Kotlin and move to Flutter. For a fresh beginner as me I will start with the lowest knowledge barrier first.
