    I installed Unity Hub, but when I try to install an Editor, it gives an error, so I installed from the archive then located the editor. But now I don't have the option to build to any other platform except Windows. Is there any way to download the modules for Linux and Mac, like you can do with Android?

    Hello @RNKnight,

    Depending on the version of Unity that you're using, you can try by going to the Build Settings (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/BuildSettings.html), choose your desired platform, and then click on the button for adding support for such platform there.

    However, my recommendation for you is to try to check why didn't work the Unity installation by using the Hub and try to solve whatever is failing.

    You can share with us which type of error did you have while trying to install Unity using the Unity Hub and maybe we can help you.


    Good luck with it!

    Thanks! I've googled about the error, but didn't find anything useful. The error I got was "Incomplete or corrupted download file." I've tried downloading in 3 different devices, got the same error in all of them.
    BTW I want to download for Linux, I can't see where to download that from...

    Ok, what you can do if you want to skip installing from Unity Hub, you can go back to the Unity archive page: https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive

    Then select the option "Unity Installer" under the "Downloads" dropdown.

    Once you have the installer downloaded (the name starts with "UnityDownloadAssistant-..."), you can run it and it will give you the option for adding platform support on the third step of the process.

    Such a step has the title "Unity component selection" and you can select there the support that you need for making builds to different platforms, including Android and Linux.

    It should look like this:

    Good luck with it!
