Installation

Here's how you can get started with using VContainer.

note

VContainer requires Unity 2018.4 or later.

Install via OpenUPM​

VContainer is available on the OpenUPM package registry. This is the preferred method of installation, as you can easily receive updates as they're released.

If you have openupm-cli installed, then run the following command in your project's directory:

openupm add jp.hadashikick.vcontainer

If you don't want to use openupm-cli (or if you're hosting VContainer on an alternative registry), you can manually add it to your project's manifest.json by modifying the scopedRegistries and dependencies fields:

Packages/manifest.json
{
  "scopedRegistries": [
    {
      "name": "package.openupm.com",
      "url": "https://package.openupm.com",
      "scopes": [
        "jp.hadashikick.vcontainer"
      ]
    }
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "jp.hadashikick.vcontainer": "1.14.0"
  }
}

Install via UPM (using Git URL)​

Navigate to your project's Packages folder and open the manifest.json file. Then add this package somewhere in the dependencies block:

Packages/manifest.json
      "jp.hadashikick.vcontainer": "https://github.com/hadashiA/VContainer.git?path=VContainer/Assets/VContainer#1.19.0",

UPM should now install the package. This is useful if you're maintaining a fork of VContainer for your own project but don't want to set up a private registry.

Install manually (using .unitypackage)​

Download the latest .unitypackage from the releases page and open it within your project. Install it as you would for any other package.
