How to Install Unity3D on Ubuntu

How to Install Unity on Ubuntu? The idea is that the last version of unity that came in .deb package was in 2017 and after that unity comes only for Mac and Windows in downloadable package format. Now, after 2017 Unity comes for Linux in .sh form which means you have to run the scripting file in order to extract and install unity. The problem with script installation is that it doesn’t come up with pre-installed dependencies for unity. So, you have to install few dependencies before running the script.

STEP-1: Download Unity Script

Here is the link from where you can download unity script:
http://beta.unity3d.com/download/ad31c9083c46/public_download.html

STEP-2: Now Install all dependencies using following commands:
$ sudo apt install gconf-service lib32gcc1 lib32stdc++6 libasound2 libc6 libc6-i386
$ sudo apt install libcairo2 libcap2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgcc1
$ sudo apt install libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgl1-mesa-glx libglib2.0-0 libglu1-mesa libgtk2.0-0
$ sudo apt install libnspr4 libnss3 libpango1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1
$ sudo apt install libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxtst6 zlib1g debconf npm

STEP-3: Run the downloaded Unity Script. ( WATCH COMPLETE VIDEO FOR THAT)
