Install the Hub on Windows or macOS

To install the Unity Hub on Windows or macOS, your operating system must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • Windows: 10 (21H1 and later, 64-bit versions), 11
  • macOS: 12+

To install the Unity Hub on a supported Windows or macOS system, do the following:

  1. Go to the Download Unity page on the Unity website.
  2. Select the Download link for your platform.
  3. Open the installer file, .exe on Windows or .dmg on macOS.
  4. Follow the instructions in the Unity Hub setup window.

To use the Hub, sign in with your Unity ID. If you don’t have a Unity account, select Create account.

The Hub might request access to your computer's file system locations or to connect through the firewall when you launch it for the first time. It uses these permissions to access your local project files and Unity Editor installations, and to fetch resources from cloud servers.

Windows and macOS installation troubleshooting

I tried to use the manual installer to add Unity version(s), but the install path was modified. What does that mean?

If you use the installer to manually install Editors after you have installed Editors through the Hub, the default installation path might be set to the last path used from the Hub because the Hub also uses the installer. For example, the installation path might be set to an Editor version's folder path. Change the install path when you manually install the Editor, so you don't overwrite the last version of the Editor that was installed from the Hub.

I removed the Hub and now I can't reinstall it.

On Windows, if you deleted the Hub without using the Hub uninstaller tool, you might need to clean the Registry to reinstall the Hub.

I am on Windows 10 and can't install the Hub.

You will need to add a system override for Mandatory ASLR because the Unity Hub installer won't work with this setting enabled. To override this setting, do the following:

  1. Go to Windows Security > App & browser control > Exploit protection settings > Program settings.

  2. To add a program to customize, do one of the following:

    • Select Add by program name to add a program with the executable file name. For example, file names can include UnityDownloadAssistant.exe or UnityHubInstaller.exe.

    • Select Choose exact file path to navigate to the executable file of the program you want to add.

  3. In the Program Settings window, go to the Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) section.

  4. Select Override system settings.

  5. Enable Override System Settings.

  6. Select Apply.

  7. Repeat this process for all versions of the Unity Hub installer.

I selected a network drive relative path as a download or installation path, but it won't complete the download or installation.

The Hub doesn't support network drive relative paths or symbolic links. You need to specify the exact path for download and installation.
