# Get Started with Unity: In-Editor Tutorial

Launch Unity’s built-in beginner project, complete the interactive tutorial, and share your first game.

## Overview

Unity includes a powerful in-Editor tutorial system that allows you to learn by doing, all within the Unity Editor.

In this tutorial, you’ll launch a learning template directly from the Unity Hub. This template opens a fully guided, interactive experience, where you’ll do the following:

- Explore how Unity’s primary windows and tools work
- Create and arrange GameObjects in a 3D world
- Make a simple playable game with a character and UI
- Explore the power of Unity to incorporate audio, animation, visual effects, and more
- Optionally publish and share your game online

If you’re brand new to Unity or exploring game development for the first time, this is the perfect way to begin.

## Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure you have **Unity Hub** and Unity version **6.3** installed.

**Tip:** If you’re not sure how to install or update Unity, follow [these steps to download a new version of the Editor with Unity Hub](https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/explore-the-unity-hub#JpI72pm885s7ezHBZkhxzo).

Once you’re ready, continue to the next step to launch your project.

## Open Unity Hub and launch the project

To get started, you’ll launch the learning project using Unity Hub. The Hub is Unity’s central launcher for managing projects, installs, and templates.

**1. Launch Unity Hub**

- Open the **Unity Hub** application.


**2. Select New Project**

- In the Hub, select **New project**.


**3. Choose Unity version 6.3.0 or later**

- At the top of the new project window, ensure **Unity 6.3.0** (or later) is selected.


**4. Open the Learning tab**

- Underneath the Editor version, select the **Learning** tab to access Unity’s interactive tutorials.


**5. Choose the Get Started with Unity template**

- Find and select **Get Started with Unity**. This template includes a fully guided in-Editor learning experience.
- Enter a name for the project and choose a suitable location on your computer to save it.
- Select **Create project** and wait for the project to open. This will take a few minutes.

The Unity Editor will open and display a welcome screen, where you’ll see a robot greeting you with open arms — that means your tutorial is ready to begin.

## Complete the In-Editor Tutorial

The in-Editor Tutorial window (on the right side of the Editor) will guide you through the interface using highlighted callouts and embedded instructions. No need to leave the Editor or open a web browser — all the learning happens in one place.

Once you’ve completed all five sections of the in-Editor tutorial, and you see checkmarks next to each one, come back here to share your project with other users on the Learn platform!
