Installing the Input System
The Input System is no longer in preview and is officially part of Unity. However, it does not come pre-packaged in unity and must be installed. You can install the Input System into your Project via the Package Manager, by completing the following steps.
- Select Unity Registry from the dropdown menu.

Figure 20.3: A Warning about changing input systems
The warning is indicating that any code you wrote using the old Input System will no longer function. This is a destructive action and may break your game.
Note
I recommend you create a new project to explore the Input System as installing...
