Installing Unity Hub

Learn to download and install Unity Hub and manage versions.

What is Unity Hub?

Unity Hub is a desktop application that lets you manage Unity Editor versions and projects in one place. First, download and install Unity Hub, then install the Unity Editor version you want to use through Hub.

Unity Hub
  ├── Installs
  ├── Projects
  └── Learn

Installs shows installed editors, Projects shows your projects, and Learn provides learning resources.

Choosing a Unity Editor version

You can install different Unity Editor versions from the Installs section in Unity Hub. An LTS (Long Term Support) version is a good choice for beginners because it provides long-term support and bug fixes.

Installs
  → Install Editor
  → LTS Version
  → Install

You can install multiple versions and open projects with the version they require.

Practice Describe the Unity installation

Store the application used for Unity installation and the preferred release type in two separate variables. Then print them on separate lines using Debug.Log. Create a working Unity C# script.

Starter code

Player.cs
using UnityEngine;

public class UnityInstallInfo : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        // Uygulama ve sürüm bilgilerini tanımla
        
        // Bilgileri ayrı satırlarda yazdır
    }
}

Sample solution

Player.cs
using UnityEngine;

public class UnityInstallInfo : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        string application = "Unity Hub";
        string versionType = "LTS Version";

        Debug.Log(application);
        Debug.Log(versionType);
    }
}

Expected output

Unity Hub
LTS Version
