Installing Unity Asset Server

Download the server

The latest available version of the Unity Asset Server is 1.0.1 for Mac OS X and 1.0 for other platforms. You can download it from the following locations:

Mac OS X package:
: http://unity3d.com/download_asset_server/unity_asset_server-1.0.1.dmg
Linux i386 rpm:
: http://unity3d.com/download_asset_server/unity_asset_server-1.0.0-1.centos4.i386.rpm
Source tarball:
: http://unity3d.com/download_asset_server/unity_asset_server-1.0.0.tgz

Installing on Mac OSX

The disk image contains a simple Apple Installer package file. Simply download and open the disk image and double click on the package file to install it. You need administrator privileges to install the package. The software requires a system reboot after installation.

You should now be able to fire up Unity and use the Administrate Asset Server menu item in the Server menu to create projects and users on the newly installed asset server. See the Asset Server Guide in the Unity Documentation for more information on using and administering the Asset Server.

Installing on Linux from the RPM package

Run the following commands as root on the server:

	rpm -Uvh http://unity3d.com/download_asset_server/unity_asset_server-1.0.0-1.centos4.i386.rpm
	/opt/unity_asset_server/bin/reset_admin_password

When prompted, please supply a new password for the admin user.

Installing from source

We recommend that you try installing the rpm first. Should that fail, you can try compiling it yourself from the source tarball. Before attempting the installation please make sure you have the following installed on the server machine:

make
gcc
bison
perl

On the server machine, run the following commands as root:

	wget http://unity3d.com/download_asset_server/unity_asset_server-1.0.0.tgz
	tar xvzf unity_asset_server-1.0.0.tgz
	cd unity_asset_server-1.0.0
	 ./install.sh

When prompted, please supply a new password for the admin user.

Note: if you don't have wget installed on the server, you should download the tgz file to your local machine and use some other means to transfer it to the server, such as scp or an ftp client.

Firewall configuration.

In order to connect to the asset server, Unity has to be able to connect to TCP port 10733 on the server. Please consult the documentation for your Linux distribution or firewall on how to accomplish this. If you use APF to manage firewall settings on the server machine, the rpm and source installs will automatically open up port 10733 when installed.
