Perfect! ✅ I have successfully created and tested installation and launch scripts for Unity Hub 3.11.1 on Linux. Here's a summary of what was accomplished:
Summary
Installation Approach
- Method: Download and extract the official Unity Hub AppImage from
https://public-cdn.cloud.unity3d.com/hub/prod/UnityHub.AppImage - Why Extract: The AppImage requires FUSE support, so we extract it to avoid dependencies
- Installation Location:
~/.local/bin/UnityHub/with a symlink at/usr/local/bin/unity-hub
Scripts Created
- install_unity.sh - Downloads the AppImage, extracts it, and creates a system symlink
- launch_unity.sh - Launches Unity Hub with proper environment variables
- extract_metadata.sh - Dynamically discovers and extracts application metadata using:
command -vandwhichfor binary discovery- Desktop file parsing for display name and version
dpkgqueries as fallback for package metadata- File system search for icon locations
Application Details
- Binary Path:
/usr/local/bin/unity-hub - Display Name: Unity Hub (extracted from desktop file)
- Version: 3.11.1 (extracted from X-AppImage-Version field)
- Icon Paths: 7 icons found at various resolutions (16x16 to 512x512)
- Desktop Entry:
/home/cua/.local/bin/UnityHub/squashfs-root/unityhub.desktop
Verification
✅ Application successfully launches and displays the Unity Hub welcome screen with login interface ✅ All metadata extracted dynamically using system tools, not hardcoded values ✅ Scripts are idempotent and can safely run multiple times ✅ Installation completed successfully with exit code 0
