Time for action – install the Unity Web Player

Before you dive into the world of Unity games, download the Unity Web Player. Much the same way the Flash player runs Flash-created content, the Unity Web Player is a plugin that runs Unity-created content in your web browser.

  1. Go to http://unity3d.com/webplayer (click either the Windows or Mac OS X button on the page to select your platform).
  2. Click on Download.
  3. Follow all of the onscreen prompts until the Web Player has finished installing.

  4. The install process is only slightly more involved on a Mac. You have to download and run a .dmg file, and then enter your administrator password to install the plugin, but it's relatively quick and painless.
