Install Unity3 side by side with Unity 2.6 on the same Mac?

Hi,

from what i can see, the Unity3 beta installer will overwrite my existing installation of Unity2.6. That’s quite inconvenient as I’d like to continue to work on my project but still want to explore Unity3. Any ideas on how this can be done?

Thanks so much,
Jan

Rename the folder your current Unity application resides in (ie, Unity_2_6_1). Then, when you install the new one, it will install in the typical location without overwriting your old install.

Don’t forget to back up your projects before upgrading them (ie, hit Cmd-D and rename one), as Unity 3 is still a beta (for whatever the term is worth anymore) and you can hold down alt while Unity is opening to swap projects before the editor opens.

Cool that worked. Thank you very much :slight_smile:
