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:

Install packages

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

Install preview packages

Note: in Unity 2020.3 and later Barracuda is not visible in the Package Manager UI. It can be enabled by manually editing your project's Packages/manifest.json and adding a com.unity.barracuda entry there. Starting in 2021.1 you can add the package directly through the Package Manager interface by selecting + and then Add package by name...

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.

Install packages locally

This is the manifest.json equivalence:

"com.unity.barracuda": "file:<PATH_TO_BARRACUDA_FOLDER>/UnityProject/Assets/Barracuda"
