Just Follow these few simple steps:

  • Download the Unity file from here

  • Make that download file executable using following command in your terminal: chmod +x UnitySetup-2018.2.7f1

  • Install the prerequisites via

    sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0 libsoup2.4-1 libarchive13 libpng16-16 libgconf-2-4 lib32stdc++6 libcanberra-gtk-module

  • Run the installer. 

    ~/Downloads/UnitySetup-2018.2.7f1

  • I like to place it in the /opt folder once it's installed and create a link so that I can launch it from the command line.

    cd;
sudo mv Unity-2018.2.7f1 /opt/Unity3D;
sudo ln -s /opt/Unity3D/Editor/Unity /usr/bin/unity3d;

    Once that's done, you can type unity3d to launch the Unity3D Editor from terminal.
