# Installation

## Asset Store

{% hint style="info" %}
Generally, the latest version of ESave will be released on Github before the Unity asset store due to verification delays.
{% endhint %}

You can find the latest version of ESave in the asset store with [this link](https://u3d.as/3h8u).

Installation Steps:

1. Get ESave from the asset store.
2. Open your Unity project, go into `Window > Package Manager`, switch to `My Assets` from the packages dropdown at the top-left, and then type `ESave` in the search bar.
3. Download and import the package. You may be prompted to install package manager dependencies. Click `Install/Upgrade`.
