Unity Downloader

This is a CLI tool written in Node.js (so yes, you will need to install Node) to help you download Unity releases and maintain copies of multiple versions. It can be very useful to stick this in a CI environment which could download new releases the moment they are out, avoiding the long wait for the download to complete. For teams, it can also mean a big win by not having everyone download their individual copies through the official Unity Downloader, but instead installing from the same shared downloaded packages.

Installing

Make sure you have Node.js installed. Pretty much any version should work, as we don't use any new high-tech super rainbow unicorn APIs, nor ES6.

npm install --global unity-downloader
