1. **Direct Execution**: Run the source code file directly via the Dart command in the terminal. For example, executing `dart run filename.dart` directly runs the file.
2. **Using DartPad**: DartPad is an online Dart editor and execution environment that allows users to write and run Dart code without installing anything.
3. **Compiling to JavaScript**: Dart programs can be compiled into JavaScript using the Dart2js tool, enabling them to run in web browsers. Use commands like `dart compile js filename.dart` for compilation.
4. **Dart Virtual Machine**: Run Dart scripts using the Dart Virtual Machine (Dart VM). This is particularly useful during development as it supports hot reload, allowing immediate visibility of results after code changes without restarting the application.
5. **Compiling to Native Code**: Dart can also be compiled into AOT (Ahead Of Time) compiled native code, primarily used in production environments to improve application startup time and performance. Use commands like `dart compile exe filename.dart` to generate executable files.
6. **Flutter Applications**: For developing Flutter applications, Dart code is compiled and embedded into the Flutter application, built and run using the Flutter toolchain.
These are common methods to execute Dart programs.
