Structure

This tutorial is structured as follow :

Requirements

This tutorial is mainly designed for computer running on Windows

Install Unity Hub

You can download Unity3D through the Unity Hub available here : Unity3D download webpage.

During the installation you may be asked to install Visual Studio.

Install Unity

In this tutorial we will use Unity 2020.2.2f1.

Warning : Changing Unity3D’s version can easily break a project thus you should keep the same version during the whole project.

Within the Unity Hub, select the Installs section on the left an then click the Install Editor button:

Add Unity

In the Archive section click on download archive:

Archive Tab

The archive website will be opened in your browser. Find Unity 2020.2.2 and click on Unity Hub:

Archive List

The download options will open in the Unity Hub.

Important : Add the Android Build Support required to build project for the Oculus Quest / OculuS Quest 2:

Select Android Build Support

Finally accept the terms and conditions of usem, and click on Install:

Accept Unity License

Congratulations, Unity3D is now installed.

Install Android Debug Bridge

In order to push or debug your game on the Oculus Quest you need to install the Android Debug Bridge : adb.

Install binaries

This program is detailed here and can be downloaded using this link : ADB Download Page

Select the version for your operating system in the list and accept the license

Accept ADB License

Once you downloaded the archive containing binaries and lib for Windows open the download folder and extract the archive to C:\Program Files :

Extract Archive

Specify the destination :

Override Destination

As you are about to install adb in a protected folder you must grant right for the copy :

Grant Rights

Edit the $PATH

Once adb installed in C:\Program Files\platform-tools you must add this repository in the $PATH to allow the shell or other programs to locate it automatically.

This can be achieve by searching for Edit the system environment variables in the search bar of Windows :

Search for environment variables

Then click on Environment Variables… :

Launch environment menu

Find and select in the list of System variables the line containing Path and click on Edit… :

Select path

Check that C:\Program Files\platform-tools is not already in the list.

If the list already contains this line then the $PATH is already well configured.

Otherwise (regular case for a new installation), click on New or just bellow the last line :

Add entry

And copy paste the folder location C:\Program Files\platform-tools where binaries are located :

Add path
