GitHub (Alternative)

  2. Click the green "Code" button and copy the git URL.
  3. Clone the project using GitHub Desktop or any other git client.

Install the ModKit

  1. Check the ProjectVersion.txt file in the ModKit folder, you will need a version that matches the year and first number exactly, but matching or higher than the third is ok.
  2. Install Unity if necessary
  3. Create a new Unity project, selected "3D" as the template.
  4. Click on the "Assets" menu, then "Import Package", then "Custom Package...". Select EcoModKit.unitypackage in the ModKit folder and press "Open", then select "Import".
  5. Select the "Window" menu, then click "Open Package Manager". If in the top left it says "In Project", click it and select "Unity Registry". Select "Collections" from the list and then click "Install" down the bottom right. If you don't see the "Collections" package then you will have to turn on "Preview packages". Look for the "Advanced" drop down button in the "Package manager" and check "Show preview packages"
  6. You are now ready to go!
