After creating a Unity ID account, follow these steps to download and install the Unity Hub and the editor:
Go to the Download Unity! site.
Click Download for Windows or Download other versions.
If you are using a Windows machine, run the UnityHubSetup.exe file and follow the instructions. If you are using a macOS machine, open the UnityHubSetup.dmg file and drag and drop the Unity Hub icon onto the Applications folder.
Launch the Unity Hub and sign in to your Unity ID account.
Click Installs > Install Editor.
Click the blue Install button to the right of the editor version you want to use.
Select the modules you want to use and click the blue Install button to continue.
If you cannot find the version of the editor you want to use within the Unity Hub, you can download it from the download archive. To do this, follow these steps:
Go to the Unity download archive.
Find the version of Unity you want and right-click on the green Unity Hub button.
Copy the URL link. It should be something like: unityhub://2022.2.17/8e603399ca02
Paste the link into your browser's address bar and press Enter.
The Unity Hub will open and prompt you to install the editor version.
Using a Web Browser
If you don't want to use the Unity Hub, you can also download previous versions of Unity directly from your web browser. However, this method is not recommended as it may cause compatibility issues or missing features. To download previous versions of Unity from your web browser, follow these steps:
Go to the Unity download archive.
Find the version of Unity you want and click on one of the links under Downloads (Win), Downloads (Mac), or Downloads (Linux) depending on your operating system.
A zip file containing the editor and other components will start downloading.
Extract the zip file to a folder of your choice.
Run the setup.exe file (Windows) or drag and drop the Unity icon onto the Applications folder (macOS) to install the editor.
