Install the Unity Hub
System Requirements
The Unity Hub supports the following Operating Systems:
- Windows 7 SP1+, 8, 10 (64-bit versions only)
- Mac OS X 10.12+
- CentOS 7
- Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04
Note: Unity supports Apple Silicon machines (M1 machines) and you can now install Apple Silicon Unity Editors through the Unity Hub. For more information, go to the Installing the native Apple silicon Editor forum page.
Installing
To install the Unity Hub, go to the Download Unity page on the Unity website and select the Download Unity Hub button. Open the installer file and follow the instructions in the Unity Hub setup window.
When you install the Hub for the first time, the Hub runs and opens the welcome page. To continue to navigate the application, you need to either sign in with your Unity ID or, if you don’t have an existing account, select Create Unity ID to create a new account.
If you are an advanced user and want to skip the welcome page on Hub startup window, go to the User Custom Configuration page for more information.
Note: When you launch the Hub for the first time, it might prompt you to give it access to some of your file system locations or allow its connections through the firewall. Accept those requests to help the Hub access your projects and Editor installations and to give it the ability to fetch resources from the cloud servers.

Note: Only Unity Hub version 3 and higher are distributed through this mechanism.
RHEL or CentOS
The Unity Hub beta versions for Linux are distributed through a different repository and you need to add the repository entry in your package manager.
