Running second session of Unity

Questions & Answers
1

I am using Unity3D v4.3.0f4 on an Apple iMac. I would like to run a second session of Unity, to have two different projects running at the same time. However, every time I try to do so, nothing happens. When I try to open the second session, the first session regains focus.

How does one open a second Unity project on the same computing device?

Thanks,
Calixto

This describes two different ways of doing this on a mac. This is also a description of the Automator script referenced in the first link.

There are two ways to do this.

  1. Open Monodevelop - Click on Run-> Debug. And voila, you’ll have another instance of Unity running.
  2. Open terminal, → Enter the command : “cd /” → Then goto the applications folder by “cd applications” → Then the Unity folder by “cd Unity”.

Open a second instance using the -n separator. The exact command is as follows:
→ “open Unity.app -n”
