Unable to install from GIT URL

Hey guys,

I’m trying to install the Boss Room Utilities for the ClientNetworkTransform function but when I use the Package-Manager and Using Unity Beta 2022.2.0b13 version, I enter the git hub URL as per the instruction found here (from the Unity Documentation:

The ClientNetworkTransform lives inside the Multiplayer Samples Utilities package. You can add this package via the Package Manager window in the Unity Editor by selecting add from Git URL and adding the following URL:
com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop/Packages/com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop at main · Unity-Technologies/com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop · GitHub

The package doesn’t flag an error, it just goes immediately back to the package manager page and does nothing.

I was following the COMPLETE Unity Multiplayer Tutorial (Netcode-for-GameObjects) by Code Monkey on YouTube and it requires this to be installed. Unfortunately for some unknown reason, it won’t install. I have git installed and if I type git into command prompt it shows all the git commands.

Any ideas please people?

Many Thanks

OK So I managed to fix it. I thought I’d document my steps exactly to help anyone who might be suffering with the same issue.

  • Go to your start-up items in windows (windows 10/11), you can do this by pressing your WINDOWS KEY (start) > typing startup apps in the search bar. If Unity Hub is in the startup programs just untick it. it shouldn’t be there, but just in case.

  • Restart your machine

  • Install GIT - You can get it from here: Git - Downloads

  • Setup with defaults / recommended. I used Visual Code for my editor but anything but VIM should suffice (VIM is overly complicated but if you’re a Linux Legend, then feel free to use it)

  • Restart your machine

  • Launch your unity project and try importing your Git package from the Import from Git URL option in the top left

For me the error was because of git and folder permissions in windows. Read if you installed git as posted by @Newb_Ninja_1
