# Unity Hub Application: Unity Technologies Also called unity hub, unityhub Unity Technologies, Games Installer and license host for Unity editor versions. The process is Unity Hub.exe. It is not the Unity editor alone. ## What you need to know Unity Hub installs editors. It is not the Unity editor alone. Unity Hub.exe fetches editor versions and licenses. The scene view runs in Unity.exe. Unreal is a different engine. - **What is it?**: Unity editor installer **Still current?**: Yes, see Current status **Official download?**: Use the vendor link in this article Feex says If Unity Hub.exe is open and the editor is not, I treat that as the installer. I do not look for UnrealEditor.exe. ## What is Unity Hub? Unity Hub installs editor versions, manages licenses, and opens projects. The heavy process while you edit is Unity.exe, not the hub. ## If you have never used it If you want to make a Unity game, you install Unity Hub first, then pick an editor version inside the hub. The editor is a different exe (Unity.exe). This page is the hub, not the editor alone, and not Unreal. ## What is it used for? **Install editor versions** LTS and other streams. The hub is the installer. Unity.exe is the editor. **Licenses and seats** Personal, Pro, or org seats. That dialog is the hub, not Unreal's Epic login. **Open projects on a matching editor** A project pinned to 2022 LTS will not silently become 6.x because the hub updated. ## Who is it for? - People starting a Unity project - Teams that pin an LTS editor - Anyone who downloaded "Unity" and only got the hub ## Current status Unity Hub (2018) is a current unity editor installer from Unity Technologies. The vendor still points Windows users at https://unity.com/download. ## How old is it? Unity once shipped per-version editors. Unity Hub (2018) became the supported way to install LTS and tech-stream editors side by side. ## Versions Major channels first. Exact build numbers are not all verified here. Unity Hub Editor LTS (installed through Hub) ## System requirements Values follow the publisher's public guidance. Workload still changes the real need. ### Minimum | Operating system | A current supported Windows 10 or Windows 11 release, per the vendor | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | RAM | Enough for Windows plus this app. Heavy projects want more. | ## Resource profile - **CPU demand**: Follows what you open inside the app **RAM demand**: Follows documents, tabs, or libraries ## Installed processes These executables belong to this product when it is installed. | Unity Hub.exe | Main Windows executable | | ------------- | ----------------------- | ## Startup components Unity Hub can start with Windows if you allow it. The editor does not. ## File locations | Typical install | C:\Program Files\Unity Hub\\ | | --------------- | ---------------------------- | ## File formats UNITY, UNITYPACKAGE ## Common problems ### Installed the hub and thought the editor was missing Use Installs in the hub. Unity.exe appears after you add a version. ### Wrong editor for a project Open the project with the version it was built on. The hub will offer an upgrade. That is optional. ## Getting unstuck ### Download the hub from unity.com/download Then install an LTS editor from the hub. Skip "Unity Pro full" hosts. ### Sign in to a Unity account in the hub Licenses fail in the hub, not inside a random Unity.exe from Downloads. ### Add modules (Build Support) from the hub, not from a zip Android or WebGL modules are hub checkboxes on that editor version. ## Alternatives Unreal Engine installs through the Epic Games Launcher. Godot is a single editor download. Those are not Unity Hub. ## Official help and downloads Start with the vendor. Random exe sites are not a support channel. | Download | [unity.com/download ](https://unity.com/download)Official installer or vendor page | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Help | [docs.unity3d.com/hub/ ](https://docs.unity3d.com/hub/)Vendor support | | Official site | [unity.com/download ](https://unity.com/download)Start here, not a random exe host | ## Related hardware The hub is light. The editor and your scene set CPU, RAM, and GPU. A discrete GPU helps the editor, not the hub window. ## Technical details Technical details Vendor version numbers change.
