Uniplayer only works on a unity3d file if the unity web player is able to play a specific version of the unity3d game, for example: If you have unity web player version 5xxx installed then it would be able to play games made with the same version and possibly a little higher but not games made as lets say, 4.6.8 versions and can’t run them with backwards compatible with lower versions. The place for aspiring game creators to share their latest WebGL creation. Gain inspiration through ongoing showcases and find thousands of FPS, Karting, 2D Platformer and other creations with Unity. No experience needed, just jump in for the chance to be featured! There’s lots of versions of Unity and just grabbing the latest isn’t going to get you very far. The various moving parts involved all rely on each other being at certain specific versions.

Legacy Notice

This page relates to a deprecated feature or obsolete aspect of Unity which is no longer applicable to more recent versions.

Notice: The Unity editor is now available on Linux and can be downloaded through the Unity Hub

For information on running the Unity Web Player in Linux native browsers see the Running Unity Web Player on Linux using Pipelight page.

Officially Unity Technologies only support creating executable standalone games/3D applications which can then be run on Linux, specifically Ubuntu 10.04 or newer(Source). This is done by using the Unity Editor in Microsoft Windows and OS X operating systems. Unity Technologies do not provide a Linux version of the Unity Editor. Unity Editor can still be launched on Linux by using the Windows version of the editor with mimicked Windows libraries provided by the Wine software. Stability of the editor depends on particular Linux distributions and the video/graphics cards.

Prerequisites

An operating system/distribution that is able to run Wine, also see 'Tested successfully on distributions' section within this wiki page.

Newest stable drivers for your graphics card

If you plan to use the lengthy PlayOnLinux method of installing Unity you will also need:

PlayOnLinux - Software that is able to manage multiple versions of Wine.

Most recent Wine on PlayOnLinux - This is installed from within PlayOnLinux, a native installation of Wine is not required.

Official Windows installer file for Unity (Versions of 4.X.X and 5.X.X are the ones tested )

Tested successfully on following distributions

Users from the community have reported of getting Unity working on the following operating systems/distributions:

openSUSE 13.1 (reported to be most stable at running the Unity editor)

Ubuntu 12.10/13.10/14.04/15.04, Lubuntu 13.10/14.04/14.10/15.04 and Xubuntu 14.04 (for now the only distros that receive Unity Technologies support for Linux Standalone Unity applications and Valve Software's support for running Steam)

Fedora 19/20

RedHat 7 Beta

Debian Jessie

Installing Unity using the terminal with a winetricks script (Experimental, yet quicker)

User 'Doctor Jellyface' saw the use of PlayOnLinux as unnecessary way to install Unity, even with the better graphics interface that PlayOnLinux offers. So he created a winetricks script that installs Unity and all the necessary libraries to make Unity work on a native Wine.

1. Install Wine, by following instructions from its official website for your Linux distribution.

2. Download the newest Unity installation script from github.

3. If you have a 64 bit operating system, then it best to set the default Arch to 32 bit for new Wineprefixes as winetricks does not have much support for 64bit wineprefixes. So before proceeding with the next step, set the environment variable through your terminal:

$ export WINEARCH=win32

(Example given for Ubuntu Linux, this environment variable will only last in that terminal session, which is enough while installing Unity)

4. Open up a terminal, move to the location of the downloaded '.verb' script and run the script using winetricks(installed by default with some 'Wine' distro packages, if not see winetricks install page):

$ winetricks -q './unity3d.verb'

If this does not fully complete, remove the '-q' argument to debug.

5. A 'Unity' shortcut should be on your desktop. Wine should be launching it. If it does not then the Unity prefix should be located under '~/.local/share/wineprefixes/unity3d'.

Installation with PlayOnLinux

PlayOnLinux is a program that is able to manages different wine versions for cases when a Windows application works on one wine version but not on another and so it allows easy switching between them without breaking another Windows application.

Most of these numbered steps come from a user called 'Tomza', you can read his blog post on this issue for reference.

Install PlayOnLinux

Follow the installation instructions provided by PlayOnLinux for your distribution.

Download the Windows Unity Installer

Download the Windows installer of Unity from the official site. Do not run/execute the file.

PlayOnLinux first launch

When you run PlayOnLinux for the first time, you will see the PlayOnLinux Wizard:

Possible first warning

The reason for this warning is that PlayOnLinux wanted add the natively installed Wine as one of available Wine versions, which sometimes might not be present.
Click OK.

Possible second warning

7zip is an archive creator, extractor. We don't need this now.
Click OK.

Possible third warning

Linux does not come with Windows fonts. This is solved by the script, no need to worry about it.
Click Next.

When all is over, you should see Enjoy using PlayOnLinux.

Managing wine versions

From PlayOnLinux's window header choose 'Tools' -> 'Manage Wine Versions'.
Choose a recent Wine version, 32 bit if you're on a 32 bit system or you're going to install the 32 bit editor, 64 bit otherwise.
Warning: Remember that the newest Wine can be unstable (Wine 1.6.2 is stable), but, at the same time, some bugs can be fixed in the recent version, and that’s why it can be the best way to go for you; fortunately, you can choose the Wine version in PlayOnLinux you like even after installing an application; the recent version is recommended for running Unity3D because of 3D driver improvements.
Click the arrow to install your version of Wine.

Getting the script

A PlayOnLinux script has been created by the Unity Community to easily install Unity. Save the following script to your disk in plain text. You can call it as you want, but the .pol extension should be kept so that PlayOnLinux can recognize it as its script.

You can find the script on GitHub.

Warning for Ubuntu users: This script will fail with an due to system wide parameter called 'ptrace_scope'. See Regarding ptrace_scope fatal error for a fix.

Adjusting the wine version

Depending on your installed wine versions you may want to change the Wine version before running the script.

Just change this line accordingly:

Installing Unity

From PlayOnLinux, go to Tools→Run a local script.
Choose the script and click Next.
You will see the warning that the signature of the script isn’t valid. It is an unofficial script, so you can safely ignore it. Click Next.
You will be able to review the script. If it's fine, check
