    I'm using Windows 10 OS and Unity 2018.3.7f1. The target platform just shows Windows.

    I've tried downloaded the linux target package, but once I import it, the Unity Editor claims that I've already has all the packages installed.

    Another weird stuff it's that isn't shown the "switch platform" buttom, although it has been seen even in olders Unity version, over the Internet forums and videos.

    Am I forget something?

    I have the feeling that once you create a project for a SO, you can't aim another platform. Am I correct?

    I meant the screenshot of it claiming that it’s already installed when you try to install Linux support to the editor.

    I'm so confused. Where did you download that ".unitypackage" from? The installer is supposed to be an .exe! And you don't import it to your Unity project.

    It's really weird... I've downloaded from here: https://unity3d.com/pt/unity/whats-new/unity-2018.3.0 in a pkg file. I realized that the extension of file was wrong so I renamed it. However, I've just revisited the same link and found the exe instead! (The name, though, was exactly the same, except by the extension).

    However, it didn't work as well... I installed and, besides the version description being the 2008 version, it claims that is from 2019 version and ask me the confirmation to proceed. I confirmed, but it didn't work...

    I'm sending new images using the exe.

    .pkg is the installer format for Mac. The installer you download has to match the Unity version exactly, or it will not work at all. Looks like you already have Unity hub installed. I suggest using that instead. You can add a component to your Unity installation through Unity hub:

    This option isn't showing up to me...

    The Unity Hub's version is 2.2.2

    Thank you very much! It's worked!

    However, when I had to choose the destination folder, I had to put C:\Program Files\Unity, not C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor (that hosts Unity.exe).
