openupm-cli v4.5.1

openupm-cli

The command-line tool to maintain the Unity manifest file for 3rd-party upm registries, offering a similar but lighter experience like npm or yarn for Node.js.

The tool is designed to work with the OpenUPM registry, but can also work with any upm registries, including the official Unity registry.

How it works

The command-line tool installs the 3rd-party registry as a scoped registry and maintains the Packages/manifest.json file when adding/removing packages. If the manifest file is modified, the Unity Package Manager will detect the changes and try to resolve the package dependencies.

Notice: the command-line tool does not directly install/uninstall package tarballs, at least for now.

Installation

• Requires nodejs 18 or above.

• Install via npm:

  npm install -g openupm-cli

• Or install via yarn:

  yarn global add openupm-cli

Windows platform troubleshooting

If npm is not available in your CMD/PowerShell/Git-Bash, please configure your environment variables.

# for npm
c:\Program Files\nodejs

# for npm global bin
C:\Users\{yourName}\AppData\Roaming\npm
