Use the installer
To install the Unity Hub, do the following:
- Go to the Download Unity page on the Unity website.
- Select Download Unity Hub.
- Open the installer file.
- Follow the instructions in the Unity Hub setup window.
When you install the Unity Hub for the first time, the Unity 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.
Note: When you launch the Unity 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 Unity Hub access your projects and Editor installations and to give it the ability to fetch resources from cloud servers.
Install the Unity Hub on Linux
Debian or Ubuntu
To install the Unity Hub on a Debian or Ubuntu Linux distribution, you need to add the Unity Hub Debian repository along with the public signing key to verify the integrity of the packages.
To add the public signing key, run the following command:
$ wget -qO - https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/keys/public | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/Unity_Technologies_ApS.gpg > /dev/null
To add the Unity Hub repository, you need an entry in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
. Run the following command to add the Unity Hub repository:$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/Unity_Technologies_ApS.gpg] https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/deb stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unityhub.list'
Update the package cache and install the package:
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt-get install unityhub
**Note: For some systems, you may need to ensure the following:
- The directory
/usr/share/keyrings
exists. - The user or group installing the Hub has write permissions to the
/usr/share/keyrings
directory. - The user or group installing Hub has at least read permissions to the resulting file
Unity_Technologies_ApS.gpg
.**
To remove the Unity Hub from the system, run the following command:
$ sudo apt-get remove unityhub
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS
To install the Unity Hub on a RHEL or CentOS Linux distribution, you need to add the Unity Hub rpm repository to your known repositories list.
To add the Unity Hub repository, you need an entry in
/etc/yum.repos.d/
. Run the following command to add the Unity Hub repository:$ sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[unityhub]\nname=Unity Hub\nbaseurl=https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/rpm/stable\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/rpm/stable/repodata/repomd.xml.key\nrepo_gpgcheck=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/unityhub.repo'

Install the beta versions of the Unity Hub on Linux
Debian or Ubuntu
Unity distributes the Unity Hub beta versions for Linux through the same repository but under a different distribution.
Before you begin, make sure you have added the public signing key already in your keychain (as explained above).
To install the beta version, you need to add another repository entry in your
/etc/apt/sources.list
:$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/Unity_Technologies_ApS.gpg] https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/deb unstable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unityhub-beta.list'
Update the package cache and install the package:
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt-get install unityhub=<version>
Where <version>
follows the format of 3.4.1-beta.1
.
Note: Only Unity Hub version 3 and higher are distributed through this mechanism.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS
Unity distributes the Unity Hub beta versions for Linux through a different repository. You need to add the repository entry in your package manager.
To add the Unity Hub repository, you need an entry in /etc/yum.repos.d/
Run the following command to add the Unity Hub repository:
$ sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[unityhub-beta]\nname=Unity Hub Beta\nbaseurl=https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/rpm/unstable\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/rpm/unstable/repodata/repomd.xml.key\nrepo_gpgcheck=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/unityhub_beta.repo'
