How can I have a fully automated build process that can fetch and install any version of Unity into our build environment?

Symptoms
  • I need to be able to install Unity to a specific path on MacOSX and Windows. Also, I want to automate the installation by downloading separate components and installing myself.
Cause
 
You may not want to use the download assistant/Unity Hub to install.
 
Resolution
 
If you want to automate the installation of Unity, you could use the the command line (or a script) without the Download Assistant.
 
On Windows:

You can use on Windows this command to install Unity silently to a specific folder:

UnitySetup64.exe /S /D=C:\Your Directory\Unity

In this case, the command installs Unity silently to the folder C:\Your Directory\Unity, which will be the root of the Unity installation. The Unity Editor executable will, in this case, be installed in C:\Your Directory\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe. “/D” argument must be last and without quotes, even if the path contains spaces.

On OSX:

sudo installer [-dumplog] -package Unity.pkg -target /

Separate Components:

In addition, if you want to install the components separately, you can use the same commands with all the component installers. The urls for them are:

It is important to note that the order is important (you should install the Editor first and then the components).

    I want a list of unity versions mapped to changesets too.

    Is Changeset same revision code that is displayed in release note?

    Beside, please do not use two word, revision and changeset. please unify word of use.

    And some of release note does not contain revision code.I'm happy if unity team write revision code to all of release note.

    These instructions no longer work. Seems like they switched to dmg format from pkg format.
