Install

Loom ships as a single Unity package tarball. The two npm packages are bundled inside, so there’s no public npm registry to hit and no separate native binary to download. Just drop the .tgz into Packages/.

Prerequisites

• Unity 6 (6000.x). Earlier versions are not tested.
• Node 20+ on the host that runs the Editor.

Steps

1. Drop the tarball. Copy com.loomgui-X.Y.Z.tgz into your project’s Packages/ directory.

2. Reference it. Add the package to Packages/manifest.json:

   {
     "dependencies": {
       "com.loomgui": "file:com.loomgui-X.Y.Z.tgz"
       // ... your other dependencies
     }
   }

3. Restart Unity.

That’s it. You can now setup your first screen on the next step, see Your first screen.

Verifying the install

Open Loom -> Doctor (or Loom -> Status Window for a dockable overlay). The doctor reports:

• Node.js found
• Native plugin loaded for your platform
• Vite dev server reachable
• Generated bridge.d.ts present and current
• UI build cache present

If any of these report red, see Doctor reference.

Upgrading

When a newer com.loomgui-X.Y+1.Z.tgz lands, replace the tarball in Packages/, re-run Loom -> Sync UI Dependencies, and restart Unity. Same one button, every upgrade.
