How do I get a tutorial project from the Asset Store?

Getting Started
1

I can get to the Asset Store from the Unity Editor (via the menu: Window>Asset Store), and I can apparently download and import the tutorial project, but apparently, that just adds the project to my new, empty project, in some not-immediately-functional way.

The details:
I recently installed Unity 5. I am attempting to install and run the “Unity 5 Survival Shooter” tutorial. I was able to download, open, and run the Unity 4 version of this tutorial, but as expected, there are issues with running it in Unity 5. The page for the Unity 5 version of this tutorial leads to the Asset Store page for this tutorial project.

Clicking the “Open in Unity” button from within my browser (either IE 11 or current Pale Moon) opens a new Unity launcher window, but that’s all.

As I described above, accessing the Asset Store from within the Unity Editor does seem to work, but does not seem to provide me with a complete, functioning project (though I did locate the “Unity 5 Survival Shooter.unitypackage” file).

Clearly, I am missing something, but my Google-Fu is failing me, probably because I don’t know enough to start with the right search terms.

So, what am I doing wrong, or where should I be looking for instructions?

When you download stuff from the asset store, and then import it, yes, it adds it to your current project.

So it’s always a good idea to start with a new, empty project if what you want is a tutorial; otherwise you’re getting the tutorial files mixed in with whatever other stuff you had going on.

It should be immediately functional, though. Perhaps the key bit you’re missing is that you need to find and open a scene. Scenes are the key top-level organizational things (I’m so eloquent tonight) in Unity; they are what contains actual objects, often with scripts attached. So, look for a “main scene” or “scene 1” or something like that, double-click it, and hit the Run button!
