1. Open **Unity Hub** -> **New Project**
2. Select **exactly** Unity **2021.3.4**

   \=> DOTS 0.51 only works with this exact Unity version
3. Select **3D Sample Scene URP**\
   **=>** DOTS 0.51 only works with URP (Universal Rendering Pipeline).\
   \=> URP is not very stable. Importing DOTSNET from a non-URP may cause rendering issues.
4. Go to **Window** -> **Package Manager** -> **Packages: My Assets**
5. Download & Import **DOTSNET.** Click **yes** when asked about installing dependencies.
6. Open one of the **Examples,** press **Play** -> **Start Server** -> **Connect Client**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please use the exact Unity version and keep the exact DOTS package versions that were installed with DOTSNET. Do not upgrade yourself, let me worry about this for you.
