Install the Unity Hub

The Unity Hub is a management tool that allows you to manage all of your Unity projects and installations, and to manage multiple installations of the Unity Editor along with their associated components, in order to create new Projects, and open existing Projects.

  • Go to the webpage

  • Click on the Download Unity Hub button and follow the installation instructions

  • At the end of installation, run the Unity Hub (you will also be able to launch it from your Start Menu/Unity Hub)

Sign in to Unity with your Unity ID

In order to use the Hub, you will need to create an account with Unity if you do not already have one.

  • Click on the Unity ID profile icon and select Sign in

  • Fill out the form and click the Sign in button If you do not have a Unity ID …

  • Click on the link in ‘If you don't have a Unity ID, please create one.’

NB - If you had already installed Unity you can skip most of these steps but make sure you do have the right version of Unity installed.

You should now have an entry for ‘Asset Importer’ under your Projects. In the Unity Version column, select the version we just installed (it will be the only one unless you have previous versions of Unity installed) to launch it.

Select the required version number - choose Unity 2022.2.18f1 (not 2018 as shown)
