Adding and removing packages

You can perform a variety of tasks through the Package Manager window:

• Install a package from a registry
• Install a package from a local folder
• Install a package from a Git URL
• Install a package from a local tarball file
• Remove an installed package from a project
• Disable a built-in package
• Switch to another package version
• Import an Asset Store package into your project
• Update an Asset Store package
• Remove imported assets from a project
• Delete a package from the Asset Store cache

The procedures described in these sections obscure a lot of the details of what the Package Manager is actually doing behind the scenes. The Package Manager window provides a user-friendly way to install and uninstall packages, by adding and removing packages as project dependencies in your project’s manifest, and then selecting the correct version to install, which doesn’t always match the version you indicated. For more information, see Dependency and resolution.
