  • Graphics: NVIDIA or AMD card with at least 2 GB of VRAM and a current driver.
  • OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or newer.
  • CPU: 64-bit dual-core, Intel Core i5 or AMD equivalent.
  • Memory and disk: 8 GB RAM and 20 GB of free disk space.
  • Internet to download the editor.

Update the system first:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 1: Add the public signing key

wget -qO - https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/keys/public | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/Unity_Technologies_ApS.gpg > /dev/null
Adding the Unity signing key
  • wget -qO - downloads the key quietly and prints it.
  • gpg --dearmor converts it into a keyring format.
  • sudo tee writes it to the keyring file.
  • > /dev/null hides the extra output.

Step 2: Add the repository

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/Unity_Technologies_ApS.gpg] https://hub.unity3d.com/linux/repos/deb stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unityhub.list'
