2. Installing Unity Editor

Important

Required Version: Unity 6000.3.8f1

Please do not install a newer or older version unless explicitly instructed, as this may break project dependencies.

Method A: Direct Install via Hub (If available)

1. Open Unity Hub.
2. Go to Installs > Install Editor.
3. Check the "Official Releases" tab.
4. If version 6000.3.8f1 is listed, select it and proceed to Section 3.

Method B: Via Download Archive (Recommended)

If the version is not proposed by default in the Hub, you must use the archive link.

1. Visit the Unity Download Archive.

3. Scroll down to find Unity 6000.3.8f1.
4. Click the blue Install button next to that version and accept to open it with Unity Hub

3. Module Configuration

During the installation window (or by clicking the ⚙️ gear icon on an existing install -> Add Modules), you must select the following components:

📱 Android Build Support

You must expand the arrow next to "Android Build Support" and check the sub-tools:

• Android Build Support
  • OpenJDK
  • Android SDK & NDK Tools

💻 Development Tools

• Visual Studio Code

Note

If Visual Studio Code is not listed in the "Dev Tools" section, install it manually from code.visualstudio.com.

4. Troubleshooting

⚠️ "Android SDK/NDK path not found"

If Unity complains about missing Android tools despite having installed the modules:

1. Open the project in Unity.
2. Go to Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Unity > Settings (Mac).
3. Navigate to External Tools.
4. Scroll to the Android section.
5. Uncheck and then Recheck the boxes for:
   • "JDK Installed with Unity"
   • "Android SDK Tools Installed with Unity"
   • "Android NDK Installed with Unity"
6. This forces Unity to refresh the internal file paths.

⚠️ VS Code IntelliSense not working

If code autocompletion is missing:

1. In Unity, go to Edit > Preferences > External Tools.
2. Set "External Script Editor" to Visual Studio Code.
3. Click Regenerate project files.
4. Inside VS Code, ensure you have the C# Dev Kit extension installed.
