Installing the Necessary Tools

New to Unity?

This learning experience assumes that you are already familiar with the Unity Editor. If you’re new to Unity, the Unity Essentials learning pathway has been designed to help you get set up and ready to create in the Unity Editor.

Update the Unity Hub

Set up your Unity project

To set up your Unity project:

1. Install Unity 2023, if you haven’t already done so.

2. Create a new Unity project using one of the Core Templates (2D or 3D). It doesn’t matter which Core Template you select; the package that you import will override the default Template settings.
