3. Accept the Terms of Service, and choose one of the following:
   • Download Installer (for "Unity Download Assistant").
   • Download Unity Hub - this is the recommended option.

Unity Download Assistant:

• Select this option to get only the latest version of Unity Editor (currently: version 2018.3).
• Follow the assistant instructions and for now select the default Unity components.
  • After installation, if you want to add more components - you have to re-run the "Download Assistant" (therefore it is better to choose the "Unity Hub" option).

Unity Hub:

• Select this option to simplify the way you find, download and manage your Unity Projects and installations.
  • In contrast to the previous option, when you download a version of editor through Unity Hub, you can easily find and add additional components.
• Installing the Unity Hub:
  1. Follow the installation instructions and create Unity Developer Network (UDN) account (you can choose to create a Unity ID, or use one of the social sign-ins: Google or Facebook).
• Installing the Unity Editor:
  1. Click the Installs tab.
  2. Click Official Releases on the left, and then click the Download button of the latest Editor version.
  3. Select the components you want to install with the Editor and click Done.
  4. After installation, the new editor will appear in On my machine tab on the left. Note that by clicking the three dots next to that Editor version, you can add new components to it.
