If you want to work with the Unity Game Engine, there are a few things you need to do before you start. First, you need to download the Unity Hub. This gives you access to a host of online resources such as learning tools and videos, online forums, FAQs and much more. This is also were you will find the download for the Unity Editor.

It’s a large download, so be prepared to wait. Once you’ve downloaded the editor, open the Unity Hub and select the projects tab on the left. From there you will see a button in the to right hand corner labeled “New project”. clicking this button with initialize the Unity Editor and create a new project.
