Player input missing as an add component option

I’ve just downloaded Unity to play about with it and I am following the roll-a-ball project, but when I get to the part where I need to add player input the option is not there in the list of components I can add
e.g.

Any help would be appreciated please

FYI I am on MacOs Sequoia

What is the exact name of the option?

If you are trying to create a new script and to paste code into it, then click “New Script” below.

The exact component name is ‘Player Input’ it should be a standard existing one according to everything I could find online

Actually, I’ve figured it out, I had to add ‘Input System’ package in Package Manager and after doing that ‘Player Input’ is now an addable component

Would have been good if the tutorial said that was a pre-requisite and how to do it though

I had the same problem, after adding ‘Input System’ it worked, thank you.
