Starting Unity for the first time

The Unity Hub is a standalone application that streamlines the way you find, download, and manage your Unity projects and installations.

If you start the Unity Editor without the Hub installed, Unity prompts you to install it. If you have a license from a previous version of Unity, you can create an empty project from the Hub installation prompt. If you subsequently try to create or open a project from within the Unity Editor, Unity prompts install the Hub.

For information on installing the Unity Hub, see Installing Unity using the Hub.

Note: For information on using Unity versions prior to 2019.1, see the Unity 2018.4 documentation.

Creating a Project

To create a new Project (and specify which Editor version to open it in), do one of the following:

  • Click the New button. The title bar of the New Project dialog box displays the Editor version that the project should use.
  • Click the drop-down arrow next to the New button to select the Editor version that you want to use. Note: This drop-down menu is only available if you have installed multiple versions of the Editor in the Hub.
