Android module cannot be installed

I am trying to install Unity 2021.1.20f1 on Manjaro KDE, first the problem was from cpio after I installed it unity still can't extract the pkg file giving the following error on the log file:

 

the problem is `app.asar` is actually a file, the correct path would be `app.asar.unpacked` which contains 7z, if Unity can use the installed 7z package on the system this would be solved.
both hub beta/prod versions give the same error.
I tried to rename the file but I couldn't because the hub have the read/write access and if I canceled it will generate new file with new id.

 

Can you at least provide a way to install the modules manually as we do on windows?

 

I solved it by:
sudo pacman -S npm
npm install asar

 

I am also unable to isntall the android module, but on Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS

I have tried 2019.4.30f1, 2019.4.29f1 and 2020.3.18f1 installing through the unity hub and selecting all the android check boxes. It seems to download the NDK, JDK and SDK just fine as far as I can tell (I can view these folders on disk, Unity/Hub/Editor/2019.4.30f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/AndroidPlayer/...), but within Unity I continue to get the "No Android module loaded." message in the build settings. When I go to Preferences -> External Tools, there is no mention of any of the normal android fields (ie the path for jdk/ndk/sdk).



looking at the info-log.json from the unityhub these are the lines that were created after trying to add the android module to a freshly installed 2019.4.30f1:

Similar error occured as xAdamQ mentioned when trying for Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows build module on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Weirdly enough for me this only happens on Unity Hub 3.0.0-beta4, going back to 2.4.5 this error does not happen.

 

Thanks, that did the trick!
I also went back to the other HUB 2.4.5 and now i can install and switch back to the modules inside Unity.
