    How to install Unity 3D under opensuse :


    -Download the latest unity-editor.sh version


    http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/


    or


    http://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/linux/unity-editor-installer-5.3.5f1+20160525.sh



    -Go to Yast and check if these 2 packages are installed (if not install them)




    libpq5 and NPM


    Browse to your download folder,right click on the unity-editor-installer.sh

    go to permission and choose for Groups and other read and write also check

    executable.


    Now open the terminal as super user mode shift the unity-editor-installer to it and

    press enter,now its going to extract it to the root folder.


    Open the file manager as super user mode and shift the unity-ediotr folder to your desired folder


    Now Unity 3D is installed and ready to use

    Additional note: your also should have monodevelop installed to write and edit scripts :
    1clickinstalltion : http://download.mono-project.com/repo/mono-complete.ymp
    or simpy search via yast for mono-core


    I also made an video on youtube :

    Great! It can be useful for many users because OpenSUSE isn't popular here. Now, tell me how much it is stable/reliable for a serious production. I think there's still a long way.

    Hey Tomza,
    well i don´t want to be the one who judge the unity editor version for linux about
    stability and reliable for a serious production,
    but of curse i can share with you my experience that i got working with unity under linux.
    to be honest i don´t see any difference from ubuntu in contrast to opensuse (except the installation ^^)
    i got the same bugs and issue like under ubuntu.
    now to Unity 3D under Linux it self, i would say it realy depent´s on you,how much compromises you can do.
    as example for other its more enjoyable to work with visual studio,for others mono or xcode
    howsoever either i would recommend to have an stable version for mac os or windows,where you can switch in any case,to work flaweless with your project.
    but you have seen to in the thread where an dev answered thats on hold on and unclear whether this will become an official, supported platform,so if you good with that.
    but anyway i would recommend you to have a chat with an unity linux dev to get an professional opinion :)
    Have an good weekend.

    Hello wilamn_d,
    unfortunately i don´t have any idea :( ...
    but maybe something like that ?!? :
    dnf -y install npm
    dnf -y install libpq5
    if thats not helping maybe you can check this here : https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=npm&submit=Search+...&system=&arch= and this : https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libpq.so.5

    some additional note: im not 100% sure but i think it depends on your system and the packages which are already installed,that it could be possible that unity 3d works under fedora with NPM,
    so you should give it a try only with NPM.
    hope it helps,wish you a nice sunday.

    hey,

    I followed your steps and installed UNity3d on my OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 and moved it to my disired folder.
    When i click on the $PATH/Editor/Unity nothing happens.

    On the command line Terminal for Super User with:

    suse:~ # ./unity-editor-5.6.0xb10Linux/Editor/Unity

    I got a error "Illegal instruction"

    what could I do?

    I checked the npm and libpq5 installation and added mono-core with Yast.
