The Unity Hub provides a command-line interface (CLI) for installing and managing Unity Editors, modules, and related workflows from a terminal. Two variants are available:

Unity CLI — a standalone binary (
```
unity
```
) that you can install, update, and use independently of the Unity Hub desktop application. Recommended for new scripts, automation, and CI pipelines.
Hub CLI — the CLI that runs inside the Unity Hub desktop application in headless mode (invoked with
```
-- --headless
```
). Still supported for existing workflows.

Note

Both CLIs are experimental and full feature parity with the Unity Hub UI is not guaranteed.
