TextMeshProUGUI not found

Error: 'TextMeshProUGUI' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
My code:
public void Player1Scored()
{
Player1Score++;
Player1Text.GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = Player1Score.ToString();
ResetPosition();
}
All it shows is TextMesh which I am not using and can't figure out how to use. Please help me fix this error, it's a game I'm making for me and my sister to play together.

 

First, try adding

using TMPro;

at the very top of the file where the other "using" statements are.

If that doesn't work, on the top bar, go to Window >> Package Manager >> and find TextMeshPro and add it to your project if it is missing.

By the way, this is the 2D forum. A question like this best fits in this forum for future reference:

ay this worked fine (if you have the TextMeshPro packages that is)
thanks alot!!
