Setting up Unity

Unity typically brings out a new version of their software every 2 weeks. You might expect this to cause problems with keeping up to date with the latest version for the exam. To date, Unity doesn't update their exams annually, so the exam and our project relate to Unity 2020 LTS. Unity will always keep updating and introducing new components and features with their future releases, but the prime fundamentals should remain the same.

This book is designed for users who have been using Unity for at least 2 years, so I'll assume you at least have a free account with them, and a copy of Unity installed. If not, here is the license activation guide from their 2020 LTS documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.2/Documentation/Manual/LicensesAndActivation.html.

Once you have created a free account, you can download the Unity Hub. This will hold a reference to the version of Unity you have installed and also your projects.
