# Installation

{% hint style="success" %}
All users should also [install 'latlong2'](https://pub.dev/packages/latlong2/install) to work with coordinates in 'flutter\_map'.

In the event that the `LatLng` object provided by that library conflicts with another, for example the one provided by Google Maps, you may need to [use the 'as' suffix](https://dart.dev/guides/packages#importing-libraries-from-packages).
{% endhint %}

## From [pub.dev](https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_map)

Just import the package as you would normally, from the command line:

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>flutter pub add flutter_map
</strong>flutter pub add latlong2
</code></pre>

## From [github.com](https://github.com/fleaflet/flutter_map)

        git:
            url: https://github.com/fleaflet/flutter_map.git
            # ref: main 
```

{% endcode %}

<pre class="language-dart"><code class="lang-dart"><strong>import 'package:flutter_map/flutter_map.dart';
</strong>import 'package:latlong2/latlong.dart';
