Adding a package by name and version

If you know the exact package name and version you want to add, you can use the Add package from git URL option to request it. This is a quick way to add a package from the registry without manually editing the manifest.

  1. Click the add button in the status bar.

  2. The options for adding packages appear.

    Add package from git URL button

  3. Select Add package from git URL from the add menu. A text box and an Add button appear.

  4. Enter the package name, the at sign (@), and the full package version in the text box and click Add.

    Enter the Git URL and click Add

    Note: If you don't know which version to install, or want to install the latest version, enter only the package name without the @, such as com.unity.example.

If Unity was able to install the package successfully, the package now appears in the package list like any other package installed from the registry.

Note: This method works for any package and version that is currently hosted on the Unity package registry or any scoped package registry you have set up for the current project.
