This work for me:

mini-howto install unity in my home dir:

mkdir ~/.unity
cd ~/.unity
wget http://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/linux/unity-editor-5.5.0b5+20160927_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install alien
sudo alien -tcv unity-editor-5.5.0b5+20160927_amd64.deb
tar -zxvf unity-editor-5.5.0xb5Linux.tgz

sudo chown $USER:$USER -R opt
sudo chown root:root opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox
sudo ln -s ~/.unity/opt/Unity /opt/Unity
sudo chmod 4755 /opt/Unity/Editor/chrome-sandbox

In xfce or gnome or kde you can make a launcher point to: /opt/Unity/Editor/Unity
And you can put the icon, are in: ~/.unity/opt/Unity/Editor/Data/Resources/UnityPlayerIcon.png

 

Dont work for me, but thanks.

 

I tried dpkg -i -root="HOME DIR", but it didnt work.
So I used a little dirty trick to work around
I create a folder where I want to install it (e.g. ~/Unity)
and then I make a link where it is going to be installed
$sudo ln -s -T ~/Unity /opt/Unity
and then install it as usual:
$sudo dpkg -i <UNITY.deb>

 

You can just download the unofficial install script (.sh) instead of the .deb file, place it in a folder you want and run it with sudo. At least that's what I'm doing on arch and I experience no real difference from the official version.

You might have to create your own shortcut to the editor executable though.
