How to install Unity Game Engine in Ubuntu 20.04

In order to install Unity Hub in Ubuntu 20.04 you need to download the older Unity Hub AppImage file which unlike the newer Unity Hub .tar.gz file can also be installed in Ubuntu 20.04.

Download Unity Hub for Linux from here. Select the Save File option and press OK. The UnityHub.AppImage file will be downloaded in the Downloads directory. Every AppImage contains an app and all the files the app needs to run. For this reason the UnityHub.AppImage file can be installed in Ubuntu 20.04 despite the different system requirements (Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04) of the newer Unity Hub .tar.gz file.

Once the file is downloaded, open the terminal, change directories to the ~/Downloads/ directory, make the AppImage file executable, and run the executable AppImage file.

cd ~/Downloads  
chmod a+x UnityHub.AppImage
./UnityHub.AppImage
