Installing Barracuda
You can get Barracuda from:
- Unity Package Manager
- GitHub
Unity Package Manager
In the Unity Editor, open the Package Manager window, select Barracuda and install it:

If you want a more recent (un-verified) version, enable preview
packages:

Note: in Unity 2020.3 and later Barracuda is not visible in Package Manager. It still can be enabled by manually editing your project's Packages/manifest.json
and adding com.unity.barracuda
entry there.
GitHub
If you want to edit source code or pull from a specific branch, it's best to clone the repository. There are two ways to do this:
- Edit your Unity project's
Packages/manifest.json
and add the following dependency to the Barracuda GitHub repo:
json
"com.unity.barracuda" : "https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/barracuda-release.git[#<revision>]"
- If you have downloaded the repository, manually connect to it via the
Unity Package Manager
. To do this, open the Package Manager, select the Add(+) button, and select Add package from disk.

This is the manifest.json
equivalence:
"com.unity.barracuda": "file:<PATH_TO_BARRACUDA_FOLDER>/UnityProject/Assets/Barracuda"
