Code Review

This pull request aims to clarify that the Flutter SDK must be installed separately from the Android Studio plugin, and also includes several formatting changes to ordered lists. My review focuses on the added clarification note, for which I've suggested an improvement to enhance clarity and correct a link that was pointing to the wrong installation guide.

You still need to install the **Flutter SDK** even if the flutter plugin installed in **Android Studio**

* Follow this – [tutorial]({{site.android-dev}}/studio/install) to install the Flutter SDK

[tutorial]: {{site.android-dev}}/studio/install

The added note is helpful, but it could be improved for clarity and correctness. The current wording is slightly awkward, and the link for installing the Flutter SDK incorrectly points to the Android Studio installation guide. Additionally, the link definition for [tutorial] is redundant.

I suggest rephrasing the note and using the correct link to the Flutter installation guide to avoid confusion for users.

You still need to install the **Flutter SDK**; the Flutter plugin for **Android Studio** doesn't install it for you.
* To install the Flutter SDK, follow the [installation guide](/install).
