I think this is my first post here, and I am running Ubuntu 16.04 Gnome and I am new to it and don’t know how to install Unity on it. I have downloaded latest installer 5.4.0b18 from this thread but I need instructions step by step to install it Unity on Linux: Release Notes and Known Issues - Unity Engine - Unity Discussions
Please, help me.
- Open a terminal and type:
sudo dpkg -i
(with a space at the end), then drag your downloaded Unity .deb file into the terminal window, which will fill in the path. Press enter and type in your password (you won’t see what you’re typing, that’s normal).
- Your install might fail, in which case, run
sudo apt-get install -f
to install the dependencies. If you get a license agreement for Microsoft fonts, select “ok” by pressing the tab key on your keyboard (above caps lock), then confirm it with enter.
Unity should be fully installed after doing so, if not, repeat step 1 one more time.
Ok, I have tried, and started to unpack and install but I got some error messages it seems, also I couldn’t do step 2. Here is a screenshot of what happened http://oi65.tinypic.com/66vgnp.jpg
My bad, the second command is sudo apt-get install -f
. It is supposed to correct the errors you got in the first step by installing missing dependencies. (I’ve corrected my previous reply now.)
Thank You very much. Now it works.
