Installing ProGrids v3 in Unity 2018.3

progrids-install.md

The problem

ProGrids seems to have disappeared from the Unity Package Manager as of Unity 2018.3.

It is possible to install ProGrids v2 via the Asset Store, but it's an old and incompatible version.

The solution (new)

Per Sayama3:

In 2021, you still can use it but it's different :

• Go to the Package Manager
• Click on the "+" button at the top left
• Select "Add package from git URL..."
• Copy and Paste the url "com.unity.progrids" (corresponding to progrids) And now you're good

The solution (less old)

As per the comments below:

There's a simpler way to get ProGrids to show up in 2018.3: Just enable Advanced > Show preview packages in the Package Manager.

The solution (very old)

To install, you need to import the package manually:

1. Navigate to your project directory on disk.
2. Open the manifest.json file in the Packages directory for editing.
3. Edit your file to include the new dependency and registry, as below.

The finished json file should look like this, with your own existing dependencies also listed under dependencies:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.unity.progrids": "3.0.0"
  },
  "registry":"http://staging-packages.unity.com"
}
