INSTALL<\/h4>\n

– Login to ssh terminal (i’m using Ubuntu-14.04.1-LTS-64bit)
\n– download package (i took 5.5.3):<\/p>\n

wget http:\/\/beta.unity3d.com\/download\/a2454d41e248\/unity-editor_amd64-5.5.3xf1Linux.deb<\/pre>\n
– install:<\/p>\n
sudo dpkg -i unity-editor_amd64-5.5.3xf1Linux.deb<\/pre>\n
– missing dependencies error..google, help!
\n– try:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get -f install<\/pre>\n
– try:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update<\/pre>\n
– try:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get upgrade -f<\/pre>\n
– try install again:<\/p>\n
sudo dpkg -i unity-editor_amd64-5.5.3xf1Linux.deb<\/pre>\n
– if finished successfully, see where it installed:<\/p>\n
dpkg --contents unity-editor_amd64-5.5.3xf1Linux.deb<\/pre>\n
– looks like install folder is: \/opt\/Unity\/Editor\/<\/p>\n
RUNNING<\/h4>\n
– Go to the folder:<\/p>\n
cd \/opt\/Unity\/Editor\/<\/pre>\n
– try running it:<\/p>\n
.\/Unity -nographics -batchmode -force-free -quit<\/pre>\n
– view editor log to confirm it runs:<\/p>\n
cat ~\/.config\/unity3d\/Editor.log<\/pre>\n
– looks like requires username or activation..
\n– “Failed to activate\/update license. Missing or bad username and password. Please try again using valid credentials or contact”
\n– try running with username:<\/p>\n
.\/Unity -nographics -batchmode -force-free -username ***** -password ***** -quit<\/pre>\n
– “Failed to activate\/update license. Timeout occured while trying to update license. Please try again later or contact”
\n– maybe its this? https:\/\/issuetracker.unity3d.com\/issues\/new-installed-unity-will-report-timeout-error-in-commandline-activiation<\/a>
\n– run without batchmode:<\/p>\n
.\/Unity -nographics-force-free -username ***** -password ***** -quit<\/pre>\n
– seems to work! (log looks fine)*<\/p>\n
Next steps.. test with real project and some batch script.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
*Update#1:<\/strong>
\nactually still gives that license error if -batchmode parameters is given..
\nThis might fix, it, but requires starting it manually.. https:\/\/forum.unity3d.com\/threads\/5-4-0p1-fails-to-launch-due-to-license.425277\/#post-2941499<\/a><\/p>\n
