## Set up UnityHub
## Unity Installation:
There are many ways:(TODO)
### Using UnityHub
Download the [UnityHub AppImage](https://public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com/hub/prod/UnityHub.AppImage). Run the AppImage like you normally would.

1. When prompted, select *Android Build Support* and *Windows Build Support (Mono)*.
- You may need to install `cpio` from your distro's repos in order to install these components (The AppImage erroneously doesn't include it). To check if it's installed, run `which cpio` in a terminal.
### Standalone Install (Only Pro and Plus licenses)
You can download the tar from [here](https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive) after that extract the contents in a folder of your choosing (make sure the folder structure remains untouched).
afterwords you can activate your unity installation with the following command:
`.Editor/Unity -quit -batchmode -serial XX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX -username 'yourUnity@mail.com' -password 'XXXXXXX'`
To Open a project in Unity simply run:
` ./Editor/Unity -projectPath /path/to/your/project `
To download Unity you can also use the following cli tool: https://github.com/Larusso/unity-version-manager
## ALCOM
vrc-get is a native FOSS package manager written in Rust. Its GUI counterpart was formerly known as vrc-get-gui, but has been rebranded as ALCOM (***Al***ternative Creator ***Com***panion).
### AppImage
1. Download the [AppImage from the latest "gui" release\*](https://github.com/vrc-get/vrc-get/releases). Pick the file named `alcom-<some version>-x86_64.AppImage`.
- \*Some users say the v0.16.0 and v1.0.0 releases only show a blank white GUI. If you're affected by this bug, downgrade to [v0.1.15](https://github.com/vrc-get/vrc-get/releases/tag/gui-v0.1.15) AppImage for the time being.
1. Run the AppImage.

1. Go to VRChat SDK -> Show Control Panel and dock it to the main window.
1. It may open windows partially offscreen. If this happens, see [this section below](#editor-windows-appear-partially-offscreen).
### Flatpak
To use the flatpak you will have to provide the following bash script to Alcom instead of the Unity executable
```
#!/bin/bash
# Execute the Flatpak application with the provided arguments
flatpak run com.unity.UnityHub -- "$@"
```
and symlink the flatpak .config unity folder to the system's one:
` ln ~/.var/app/com.unity.UnityHub/config/unity3d/Unity/licenses/ ~/.config/unity3d/Unity/licenses`
Now you should be able to create and upload avatars and worlds like you normally would.
### Standalone
To use the standalone version simply add to alcom the Unity executable of that editor version
