# Installing Unity

## Downloading Unity

You can obtain a copy of Unity3D game engine by downloading the preferred version on [Unity Archive](https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive).

{% hint style="info" %}
It's recommended to use [Unity Hub](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GettingStartedInstallingHub.html) as it manages unity's installations and modules easily.
{% endhint %}

The official [tutorial ](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GettingStartedInstallingHub.html)of installing unity is best if you want documentation of everything.\
&#x20;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](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GettingStartedInstallingHub.html#install) section.

{% hint style="success" %}
You should select the specified version of unity on the GitHub repository.\
As of writing this tutorial the specified unity version is **2019.1.8f1**.
{% endhint %}

## Opening the project

Once you are done to installing, in **Projects** section click **Add** and locate the folder of the project.

There are two projects on the repo, [OpenTibia ](https://github.com/slavidodo/OpenTibia-Unity/tree/master/OpenTibia)and [SpritesConveter](https://github.com/slavidodo/OpenTibia-Unity/tree/master/SpritesConverter). In the next section we will be using **SpritesConverter** so it's preferred to select that project.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you haven't processed stylesheets already, it's preferred to proceed with the next step to build sprites and appearances before opening unity!
