Maybe the linux release, or i'm tired but where can i please ?

[Ravbug]

The Linux version currently doesn't support installing Editor versions, sorry. You're welcome to make a PR.

I don't know C++, but i can't totaly help for the linux part ;-)

[hunabku94]

i know some C#, can help, maybe

So, i have time and i'm motivated to add this feature.

I get an eye to the code and it's hard to me to understand the structure and what i need to modify.

Can we work together to do that feature ?

This line of code disables the "Install New" button on Linux. Removing the linux check will re-enable the button:

UnityHubNative/source/interface_derived.cpp

Lines 95 to 97 in 61160ca

	#if defined __linux__
	launchHubBtn->Hide();
	#endif

The code for the Install New dialog and associated functionality lives in add_install_dlg_derived.cpp. The Install Via (Official) Hub button might work out-of-the-box, but I haven't tested it as I don't currently have a machine running Linux.

Beyond that, installing outside the official hub will require some additional effort. You'll likely need to add a new case to this section of code:

UnityHubNative/source/add_install_dlg_derived.cpp

Lines 174 to 183 in 61160ca

	// download the file
	string url = "https://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/" + data.hashcode + "/UnityDownloadAssistant" +
	#ifdef __APPLE__
	".dmg";
	#elif defined _WIN32
	".exe";
	#elif __linux__
	#else
	#error This platform is not supported.

as well as this section of code to launch their installer:

UnityHubNative/source/add_install_dlg_derived.cpp

Lines 206 to 212 in 61160ca

	// open the file
	wxCommandEvent lnevt(executeEvt);
	#ifdef __APPLE__
	lnevt.SetString(fmt::format("open \"{}\"", outpath));
	#elif defined _WIN32
	lnevt.SetString(fmt::format("\"{}\"", outpath));
	#endif
