you have to manually add desktop support for existing apps

run: flutter create . to add the necessary dependencies.

You might have missed step from linux desktop support. It is because you're trying to run project which is initial build from different platform (eg. mac/windows). This is according to official documentation. flutter_add_linux

Another solution is create new app by flutter create repo_name on linux. Then copy linux folder into existing repo. This will fix your problem.

solution:

To add desktop support to an existing Flutter project, run the following command in a terminal from the root project directory:

Here we add full desktop support

flutter create --platforms=windows,macos,linux .

Only need Windows

flutter create --platforms=windows .

Only need Linux

flutter create --platforms=linux .

Tip:

To create a new application that includes desktop support (in addition to mobile and web support), run the following commands, substituting myapp with the name of your project:

flutter create myapp
cd myapp

For more Information : flutter.dev/desktop

Use these commands

$ flutter channel dev

$ flutter upgrade

$ flutter config --enable-linux-desktop

After running these commands start a new Flutter project and you should be good to go. :)
