Unity operating system linux

Our new editor for Linux (in preview for Ubuntu and CentOS) brings the benefits of real-time to a whole new platform.

Update to the original post: The launch of the fully supported Unity Editor for Linux has been pushed from 2019.3 and will launch in 2021. Please see this forum post for more details. The date has been updated in the post below.

For years, we’ve offered an unofficial, experimental Unity Editor for Linux. A growing number of developers using the experimental version, combined with the increasing demand of Unity users in the Film and Automotive, Transportation, and Manufacturing (ATM) industries means that we now plan to officially support the Unity Editor for Linux. Currently, it’s available in preview, and we’re interested in gathering your feedback on our Unity Editor for Linux forum. We expect it to be fully supported in 2021.

It is accessible by all Personal (free), Plus, and Pro licenses users, starting with Unity 2019.1. We want to focus on making our Editor for Linux as robust and stable as possible, so we’re prioritizing our official support on the following configurations:

Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04
CentOS 7
x86-64 architecture
Gnome desktop environment running on top of X11 windowing system
Nvidia official proprietary graphics driver and AMD Mesa graphics driver
Desktop form factors, running on device/hardware without emulation or compatibility layer

We recommend you use one of the supported configurations above for the best development experience.

One important thing to remember: Before you open your projects via the Linux Editor, make sure that any 3rd-party tools you use also support it.

You can get the latest builds from the Unity Hub.

We can’t wait to hear what you think on our Unity Editor for Linux forum.

PC, Mac & Linux Standalone build settings

The PC, Mac & Linux Standalone build settings contain options you can use to set up and begin the build process for your application on these platforms. It contains settings to create development builds A development build includes debug symbols and enables the Profiler. More info
See in Glossary as well as publishing your final build. To access the Build Settings window, go to File > Build Settings. Once you specify the build settings, select Build The process of compiling your project into a format that is ready to run on a specific platform or platforms. More info
See in Glossary to create your build, or select Build And Run to create and run your build on the platform you specify.

Standalone Build Settings

The following table outlines the settings available for your build. These vary depending on the target operating system you choose.

Setting		Description
Target Platform
Windows	Build for Windows
macOS X (Not available on Linux)	Build for macOS
Linux (not available on Mac)	Build for Linux
Architecture	Not available on macOS
x86	32-bit CPU
x86_64	64-bit CPU
x86 + x86_64 (Universal)	All CPU devices for Linux
Server Build		Enable this setting to build the Player for server use and with no visual elements (headless) without the need for any command line options. When you enable this setting, Unity builds managed scripts A piece of code that allows you to create your own Components, trigger game events, modify Component properties over time and respond to user input in any way you like. More info See in Glossary with the UNITY_SERVER define, which means you can write server-specific code for your application. You can also build to the Windows version as a console application to access stdin and stdout . Unity logs go to stdout by default.
Copy PDB files(Windows only)		Enable this setting to include Microsoft program database (.pdb) files in the built Standalone Player. .pdb files contain application debugging information that is you can use to debug your application. Copying .pdb files might increase the size of your Player, so you should disable this setting for builds that are intended for publishing. This setting is disabled by default.
Create Visual Studio Solution(Windows only)		Enable this setting to generate Visual Studio Solution files for your Project, so you can build your final executable in Visual Studio.
Create Xcode Project (Mac Only)		Enable this setting to generate an Xcode project so you can build your final application bundle in Xcode. Xcode has built-in support for code signing and uploading the application to the Mac App Store.
Development Build		Enable this setting to include scripting debug symbols and include the Profiler A window that helps you to optimize your game. It shows how much time is spent in the various areas of your game. For example, it can report the percentage of time spent rendering, animating or in your game logic. More info See in Glossary in your build. When you enable this setting, the DEVELOPMENT_BUILD scripting define is set. You should use this option when you want to test your application.
Autoconnect profiler		Requires Development Build option to be enabled. When you enable this setting, the Unity Profiler automatically connects to your build.
Deep Profiling Support		Requires Development Build option to be enabled. Deep Profiling Support enables the Unity Profiler to record more detailed data by instrumenting every function call. Enabling Deep Profiling might slow down script execution.
Script debugging		Requires Development Build option to be enabled. When you enable this setting, Unity adds debugging symbols to your script code.
Scripts Only Build		Requires Development Build option to be enabled. When you enable this setting, you can rebuild only the scripts for your application while leaving data files intact from a build you have previously executed. Script only builds significantly improves iteration times if you are only changing the code in your application. You need to build the whole Project once before you can use this setting.

For information on minimum requirements for build targets see documentation on Player System Requirements.

Installing the Unity Hub

The Unity Hub is a management tool that you can use to manage all of your Unity Projects and installations. Use the Hub to manage multiple installations of the Unity Editor along with their associated components, create new Projects, and open existing Projects.

To install the Unity Hub for Windows, macOS, and Linux visit Download Unity on the Unity website.

Unity officially supports the following Linux distributions:

Note: If Unity Hub fails to launch while you are using Linux, you might need to give UnityHub.AppImage executable permissions. To do this:

Open your terminal.
Go to the directory where UnityHub.AppImage is. This will be the Unity Hub directory.
Run chmod +x UnityHub.AppImage .

To install and use the Unity Editor, you must have a Unity Developer Network (UDN) account. If you already have an account, sign in, choose your licenses type, and proceed to the Installing the Unity Editor section.

If you do not have an account, follow the prompts to create one. You can choose to create a Unity ID or use one of the social sign-ins. For more information on accounts and subscriptions, see Unity Organizations.

Installing the Unity Editor

To install the Editor:

Click the Installs tab. The default install locations are:

Note: If you want to change the default installation location, follow these steps:

From the top right corner of the Hub window, click the Gear icon.

In the Editor Folder Location dialog box, enter the new installation location and click Done.

Click the Add button and select a specific version of the Editor.

Hub install screen

Click the Next button and select the modules you want to install with the Editor. If you don’t install a component now, you can add it later if you need to. When you’ve selected all the modules you need, click Done.

Modules install

If you are installing multiple Editor versions, the first installation starts as soon as the download is complete. Other selected versions download simultaneously and queue to start when the current installation finishes.

The Hub displays the installation location of each Editor under the corresponding version label.

To add modules to an Editor, locate its files, or uninstall it, click the three dots next to that Editor version.

Modifying an existing Editor install

Adding existing instances of the Editor to the Hub

You can add instances of the Editor to the Hub that you installed outside of the Hub.

Click the Installs tab.

Click the Locate button to find existing installations of the Editor.

In the file dialog, navigate to the location of the Editor installation and select the Unity executable. On MacOS this is Unity.app. On Windows this is Unity.exe.

On Windows, the typical location of the Unity.exe is:

On macOS, the typical location of the Unity.app is:

On Linux, the typical location of the Unity executable file is:

Click the Select Editor button.

To remove the Editor from the Hub, click the three dots next to the Editor version. Removing an Editor that you added in this manner does not uninstall it or modify it in any way.

Troubleshooting for Linux

If Unity fails to start, you might need to install a missing dependency In the context of the Package Manager, a dependency is a specific package version (expressed in the form package_name@package_version ) that a project or another package requires in order to work. Projects and packages use the dependencies attribute in their manifests to define the set of packages they require. For projects, these are considered direct dependencies; for packages, these are indirect, or transitive, dependencies. More info
See in Glossary . On Ubuntu-based distributions, use:

On CentOS, you might need to install the mesa-libGLU dependency. Use:

Support for Editor versions prior to 2017.1

Sign-in status is not shared for pre–2017.1 versions of the Editor opened through the Hub. Performing tasks such as Manage License, Open Project, Create Project, and Sign in opens the Unity Launcher instead of the Hub.

If you attempt to use the Unity Hub to open an Editor version 5 or earlier and you do not have an appropriate license file, the Editor will hang on the splash screen.

To avoid this issue, run the Editor directly, external to the Unity Hub, and the Editor will load correctly even if the license file is not detected.

Using the Unity Installer to install the Unity Editor

The Unity installer is a small executable program (approximately 1 MB in size) that lets you select which components of the Unity Editor you want to download and install.

To install previous versions of the Unity Editor using the Installer, visit the Unity download archive. The archive page provides Unity Installer download links for all released versions of the Editor.

For additional information on installing the Editor using the Installer, see the 2018.3 version of the Unity Manual.
