How to install PPS v2 in 2017.4

Unity Engine
1

Hey there

I’m trying to install the post processing stack v2 in a Unity 2017.4 project. It’s an asset that makes a fair bit of use of it but was set up in 2018.1 and I want to get it working for the oldest active long term support version of Unity.

The PPS docs say that the v2 stack is compatible with 2017.3+, but there is no asset on the store for it and no UI for the package manager to search for it.

When I try to install via the package manager API using the ID com.unity.postprocessing, the search request fails with the following error:

Is there another ID or is there a version that is actually compatible or is the only way to grab it through GitHub? That’s way too much to expect of my asset users so I’d probably have to give up on 2017.4 compatibility.

Thanks for any help

Ok, for anyone else that has this problem, it seems that if you specify the version then the API can install it.

var addRequest = Client.Add("com.unity.postprocessing@2.1.7");

Doing it without the @2.1.7 says the minimum Unity version is 2018.1
