Installation

This guide walks you through installing AirPath in your Unity project.

Dependencies Check

If you encounter compilation errors, verify all required packages are installed:

1. Open Window → Package Manager
2. Check that these packages appear in the list:
   • Entities
   • Burst
   • Collections
   • Mathematics
   • Input System
   • TextMeshPro

If any are missing, install them by clicking + → Add package by name and entering the package name (e.g., com.unity.entities).

Install from Unity Asset Store

The recommended way to install AirPath is through the Unity Asset Store:

1. Purchase/download AirPath from the Unity Asset Store
2. Open your Unity project
3. Go to Window → Package Manager
4. Select My Assets from the dropdown
5. Find AirPath and click Import
6. In the Import dialog, click Import to add all files

Selective Import

If you only need the core runtime functionality, you can uncheck the Samples folder during import. The samples include demo scenes and example agents that are helpful for learning but not required for production use.

Install from Package

If you received AirPath as a .unitypackage file:

1. Open your Unity project
2. Go to Assets → Import Package → Custom Package...
3. Navigate to and select the AirPath.unitypackage file
4. Click Import in the dialog

Project Structure

After importing, you'll find the following structure in your project:
