Im new

I'm about to download unity, which modules would you all recommend?

 

If you don't already have a preferred IDE or text editor, add the Visual Studio module.

Everything else is mostly for platform build support.
I.E: You would include Android build support to publish on Android devices, Linux support to publish on Linux devices, etc.

If you don't have any target platforms in mind currently, it's fine to just leave everything else unchecked. You can always modify your installation and add these packages later.

 

Yep, install VS unless you have a reason not to. Install the platforms you want to develop for. You can always reinstall later to add additional platform modules, so don't stress too much on it.

 

how do you download unity? everything is confusing me.

 

i joined last night

 

Here's where you can download the latest version of Unity Hub:

Edit, I just looked at the plans selection page and it looks like they changed it quite a bit. Honestly, it looks really messy.

 

its telling me that none of them are compatible and I need to find a different app. what do i do?

 

I have chrome os

 

There is no version of Unity for Chrome OS.
A ChromeBook likely doesn't even have good enough hardware specs to handle large software such as a game engine either.
