Maybe the linux release, or i'm tired but where can i please ?

[Ravbug]

The Linux version currently doesn't support installing Editor versions, sorry. You're welcome to make a PR.

I don't know C++, but i can't totaly help for the linux part ;-)

[hunabku94]

i know some C#, can help, maybe

So, i have time and i'm motivated to add this feature.

I get an eye to the code and it's hard to me to understand the structure and what i need to modify.

Can we work together to do that feature ?

This line of code disables the "Install New" button on Linux. Removing the linux check will re-enable the button: https://github.com/Ravbug/UnityHubNative/blob/61160cac9e92dcb77d928ee6d7c9189b397596a3/source/interface_derived.cpp#L95-L97

The code for the Install New dialog and associated functionality lives in add_install_dlg_derived.cpp. The Install Via (Official) Hub button might work out-of-the-box, but I haven't tested it as I don't currently have a machine running Linux.

Beyond that, installing outside the official hub will require some additional effort. You'll likely need to add a new case to this section of code: https://github.com/Ravbug/UnityHubNative/blob/61160cac9e92dcb77d928ee6d7c9189b397596a3/source/add_install_dlg_derived.cpp#L174-L183 as well as this section of code to launch their installer: https://github.com/Ravbug/UnityHubNative/blob/61160cac9e92dcb77d928ee6d7c9189b397596a3/source/add_install_dlg_derived.cpp#L206-L212

Thanks i will see for that

The install flow has been changed to open https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive in your browser since I don't have the time (or desire) to reverse-engineer Unity's install system and keep it up-to-date. As such, there's no longer a need for this.
