After you have flutter and your VScode extensions installed you are ready to start coding. First if you have not cloned the suite, do so now. After you have cloned the repository, open VScode and click on the file button in the top right and to open folder. In your file explorer navigate to the suite and only open the Companion App. After the code loads into the VScode open the `pubspec.yaml` file in the root of the project and save to get the project dependence. Now you should be good to start coding. Good luck!
If you see an error like this: "Failed to start DevTools: Dart DevTools exited with code 1. .../pub/bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file," enter this command at the command line: flutter ```pub global activate devtools```. That has the effect of enabling the dev tools globally
