Getting Started

1. Install Unity Web Player

Download and install* the Unity Web Player from the Unity Technologies website: http://unity3d.com/webplayer/.

* You must have administrator rights to install the Unity Web Player on Mac OS X.

Recommended For: Trial users, students using the application from home, or classrooms where students have sufficient rights to perform the installation themselves.

Description: This is the quickest and easiest way to install the Unity Web Player, but requires that the user have sufficient permissions to download an installer (this is an executable file that is often blocked on school computers) and also have permission to install software into their application data area. Please see your system administrator if you are not sure about permissions (for you or your students).

Instructions:

  1. Download the Unity Web Player from our website: UnityWebPlayer.exe
  2. Save the file to your computer in a convenient location, such as your Desktop.
  3. Run the downloaded program to start the installer.
  4. If your computer asks for permission to make changes, click Yes.
  5. Verify installation
    1. select http://files.unity3d.com/webplayer_test/version/.
    2. verify that you have versions installed for the Plugin and Unity 3.x. It is not necessary to have a version for Unity 2.x.
    3. You may need to restart your web browser before logging on to Whitebox Applications.

Recommended For: Classrooms where multiple students will be logging into the same computer throughout the day, and/or more restricted environments where the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the installation themselves.

Description: The Unity Web Player will be installed for all users logging into the computer. You must have administrative rights to complete the All Users installation.
