In this video we will be downloading Unity Hub, Unity 2018 or later, and 2

2

Visual Studio. 3

3

If you already have those things downloaded and 4

4

ready to go then you can jump to the next video, otherwise let's get started. 5

5

Okay the very first step in the process is to open up your web browser and 6

6

search for get unity. 7

7

So I'll take you to a list of things where Unity download should be at the very top 8

8

or somewhere around the top, have a look for it. 9

9

Now on the download Unity page we can click on the big green button that says, 10

10

choose your Unity and download. 11

11

That'll allow you to go and do things, what I'll call the old way, cuz recently 12

12

we now have the option of downloading Unity Hub which is what we're going to do. 13

13

If you land on this page and things have changed cuz Unity's always changing and 14

14

upgrading and iterating. 15

15

No problem, just follow the approach of finding the Unity that you want to 16

16

download, and if the Hub is available, click on download Unity Hub. 17

17

I expect it's gonna be around for a long time, because it is awesome. 18

18

It allows us to manage all of our downloads, 19

19

in all of our different versions. 20

20

So that's gonna download, it might take you a little bit longer than me, but for 21

21

me it's gonna be about a I don't know, I think a 20 second download. 22

22

Once that downloads, we can get into the next step. 23

23

So click on that to open it up. 24

24

It'll ask you if you wanna do this, yep. 25

25

And this is on PC as you can see. 26

26

Ben's gonna take you through some of the PC Mac differences in a couple of videos 27

27

time, but everything's pretty similar. 28

28

If you're a Mac user, you're gonna know how to respond when the dialog pops up, 29

29

and here we need to scroll through, read it very closely and in close detail. 30

30

When you get to the end, click I agree. 31

31

You can see I didn't quite read it, I was being a little bit facetious on that one. 32

32

But I'm sure it said lots of good stuff and it wasn't asking me to give them my 33

33

kidneys or my first born or any of those kind of scary things, all safe and good. 34

34

Okay, so it's doing a little bit of behind the scenes thinking, 35

35

now we've installed Unity Hub and this thing is delightful. 36

36

If you've used Unity before and 37

37

you haven't used Unity Hub, then it's not gonna be too much of a stretch, 38

38

basically it's allowing us to manage multiple versions of Unity in one place. 39

39

Why would you do that? 40

40

Well sometimes you've created a project and say Unity 2017, and 41

41

you're worried there's compatibilities in Unity 2018 or vice versa, so 42

42

it allows us to manage that. 43

43

See I have no versions available at the moment. 44

44

I click on, 45

45

if you do have something installed already you can click on locate a version. 46

46

If this is your first ever installation of Unity click on download, and 47

47

then it's gonna ask for some options in here and here. 48

48

Your list should have at the very least 2018.1. 49

49

If you're looking at this in the future it might be 2019, it might be 2020. 50

50

Not a problem, 51

51

we recommend getting the most recent version of Unity that's stable. 52

52

And you can tell that's the stable if you can see here Official Releases, 53

53

the only thing on here are Official Releases. 54

54

It's only gonna show you the good stuff. 55

55

If you click on the beta releases, 56

56

then it will show you something that's a little bit more experimental. 57

57

Normally they're pretty stable by the time they get here, but we often find bugs so 58

58

we tend not to use the beta version and we wait until it becomes official release. 59

59

So, for me you can see the latest option I have is 2018.1.0f2. 60

60

Yours might be 2018.2 or 2018.3, not a problem. 61

61

Click to download the most recent stable version, and then we have the option of 62

62

the components we wish to install, obviously we need the editor, 63

63

the documentation, yes, standard assets, absolutely, example project, 64

64

that's up to you, you don't have to download that, you could turn that off to 65

65

save a little bit of the download, I'm just gonna leave it on for now. 66

66

And then development tools, very super massively important that yes you 67

67

have Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017 or 18 or whatever it is for 68

68

you when you're going through this process. 69

69

Yes you need to download that, 70

70

because that's the environment we're gonna be using. 71

71

Okay platforms, that's up to you. 72

72

You can come back and manage this again in the future, you can surf through to this, 73

73

you don't have to get this for now. 74

74

The one thing we will get is WebGL Build Support, 75

75

that allows us to build to websites. 76

76

We might do a little bit of that in the early sections of this course. 77

77

So that's it for the selecting your components. 78

78

Click done, and then it is going to ask if we want to make changes? 79

79

Yes, and then we need to sit back, and relax, and enjoy the ride as it does 80

80

all of the downloading and installing in this mechanism. 81

81

So that's mostly it for this video, 82

82

I'm gonna give you your challenge which is downloading Unity Hub and Unity. 83

83

Start off my downloading Hub. 84

84

Download the latest Unity release, and as I mentioned, if you have any problems at 85

85

all, then have a look at the version we're using, at the moment it's 2018.1. 86

86

And as we go through the course, as the sections become stable, we'll be 87

87

updating to the stable versions of Unity, so as the versions become stable. 88

88

And if Unity is downloading quickly for you, and you have Unity downloaded pretty 89

89

soon, then continue to the very next video which is called Your First Code, and 90

90

jump straight in, cuz we'll be using Unity in that video. 91

91

If it's taking a while, or you've got a slow internet, then, and 92

92

it's not downloaded, then you can jump forward two videos, so 93

93

skip the next two videos and we have a video that's titled Community and Support, 94

94

where we talk about how to get the most out of this course, how to lean on our 95

95

community and how to use all the tools and support that we provide to you. 96

96

And then when you finish watching that video, 97

97

hopefully Unity will have been downloaded and installed, and 98

98

then you can come back and jump into the Your First Code Video. 99

99

So that's a simple flow, whatever the case please do jump straight away into the next 100

100

video and keep moving forward and I will see you very soon.
