unity-package-management

separate

Adds, removes, upgrades, and discovers Unity (UPM) packages from outside the Editor, with the Pipeline package commands first and a C# script as the fallback. Use for package installs, verifying package IDs and versions, or choosing which packages a game needs.

When to use

• Add / remove / upgrade one or more packages in an existing or freshly-created project.
• Set up a project's packages non-interactively in CI (fallback script when no Editor is running).
• Verify a package id exists, or find its available versions, before depending on it.
• Decide which packages a game actually needs — see

When not to use

• hand-editing Packages/manifest.json
• editor install
• project creation
• build/test
