A simple and robust way to determine where Unity3D is installed in the current environment.

I'm provided as a Typescript-compatible Node.js module, but also as a standalone command line utility. Under the hood I'm not that complex - just an environment variable wrapped in friendly glitter.

For shell installations: npm

npm install -g unity-path

For node project installations: npm

npm i unity-path --save-dev

For most use cases (involving default install locations), all you need to use is either:

Javascript:

var unityPath = require('unity-path').unityPath

unityPath().then(function(path) {
  console.log('Unity is located at:', path);
})

Shell:

echo "Unity is located at: $(unity-path)"

Output:

Unity is located at: /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity

or

Unable to locate Unity installation, tried all of these paths: "/opt/Unity/Editor/Unity", "/Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity", "C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe". Try setting env 'UNITY_PATH' or supplying a path to check as first argument.

Both of these methods will set the environment variable UNITY_PATH on the first invocation. Any further invocations will simply read from this cached location. If you have installed Unity in a special location, you can set this from your equivalent of .profile or .bash_profile by running either:

Javascript:

var unityPath = require('unity-path').unityPath

unityPath('/path/to/unity')
// or: unityPath(['/path/to/unity1', '/path/to/unity2'])

Shell:

unity-path "/path/to/unity"

Any further invocations on the system, even from deep within build tooling, will return this path instead. Variations of these scripts are included in the ./examples directory of this source package.
