    I am using Unity Hub 2.3.2, which was downloaded from the following thread, on Ubuntu 18.04:
    https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-hub-v2-0-0-release.677485/

    I want to use the 2019.4.2f1 version of Unity.
    But there is no way to download it in the Unity Hub. I could only download the latest official release version(currently, 2019.4.8f1) in Unity Hub.

    So I clicked the green 'Unity Hub' download button on the Unity Download Archive page.
    But the Unity Hub window only popped up without any further action.

    And there is no download file for Linux.

    How can I install the specific version of Unity in Linux?

    I could download that version by clicking a warning icon next to 'Unity Version' and then clicking the 'install' button.

    Unfortunately, the archive links do not work on Linux. It is a known issue.
    Your best bet is to install editors by command line.

    ./UnityHub.AppImage --headless install --version <version> --changeset <revison>


    Examples:
    // This command will install 2019.4.9f1 (no revision specified)
    
./UnityHub.AppImage --headless install --version 2019.4.9
    

    
// This command will install 2019.4.8f1 revision 60781d942082
    
./UnityHub.AppImage --headless install --version 2019.4.8f1 --changeset 60781d942082


    You can obtain the changesets (or revision) from the UnityHub URL links from the Download archive.
    For the example above, the URL is unityhub://2019.4.8f1/60781d942082.
    So the version is 2019.4.8f1 and changeset is 60781d942082.

    Note that the command line tool is somewhat experimental and not a fully documented feature.
    Use at your own risk!

    By the way
    How can I install device modules . It doesn't contains modules option on modify menu from Unity Hub.
    From Unity ProjectSettings "Install with Unity Hub", pops out an install link , like: unityhub://2019.4.10f1/5311b3af6f69/module=android
    which does not work, again.

    Hi there!
    Here's a step by step on how to install modules:
    1. Open the Hub.
    2. Select Installs.
    3. Find the Editor you want to add the components to.
    4. Click the three dots/gear, then select Add Modules. (If you didn’t install the Editor via the Hub, you will not see this option. Please, download the Hub here)
    5. In the Add Modules dialog, locate the module to add and tick its checkbox.
    6. When you have selected all the modules to add, select Done.
