The Unity Download Assistant supports offline deployment.
To deploy Unity offline, you must follow a two-step process that:
To complete these steps, you need:
On the computer with internet access, go to the following website:
Use the filter controls to list the versions of Unity you’re interested in.
In the Downloads column, select See all for the version you want to install.
Expand Other installs.
Select Download Assistant for your operating system.
If prompted, save the file, and note the download location.
Use your file manager application to go to the location where you downloaded the Download Assistant.
Open the Download Assistant.
On macOS, the .dmg
file opens a new Finder window. From that window, open Unity Download Assistant.app
.
Follow the Introduction and License prompts, then select the components you want to install. The Download Assistant will install all the components you select on the current computer, and save them to a folder for you to install on offline computers later.
On macOS, at the Select a Destination panel (Select a Destination), select Advanced.
Without closing Download Assistant, go to your file manager application, and create a folder to store the offline installation files you’ll download in the next step.
Return to the Download Assistant and set a location for storing offline installation files.
Important: Don’t accept the default location for storing installation files. Accepting these default or temporary locations result in incomplete file sets, or complete removal of the files you’ll need for the offline setup later.
Proceed through the downloading and installing panels, until the setup is complete.
The selected version of the Unity Editor (and any selected components) are now installed on this computer.

Open your file manager application.
Go to the folder you specified when selecting the location for storing installation files during the Download Assistant setup.
Confirm that an install.sh
or install.bat
file is inside that folder.
If this folder is empty, or missing an install.sh
or install.bat
file, repeat the main procedure. Make sure you specify an explicit location for installation files, rather than accepting the default location.
Check the contents of the install.sh
or install.bat
file to make sure they resemble the following example:
Transfer the folder that includes all the downloaded installation files and the install.sh
or install.bat
file from the first computer to the offline computer.
On the offline computer, run the install.sh
or install.bat
file:
install.sh
file.sudo ./install.sh
. This command prompts you for your password, which doesn’t appear on the screen as you type it.cmd.exe

.Repeat these steps on other offline computers if needed.
After you install the Unity Editor on the offline computer, its user needs to activate their license on that computer by using the manual activation method.
