下载、安装及创建项目#

The current version of Unigine SDK Browser for your operating system is available on the UNIGINE Developer Portal in the Downloads section. After downloading the browser, install it and then use it to install the required version of Unigine SDK to access all engine features. In simplified form, the algorithm looks like this:当前适用于你操作系统的UNIGINE SDK浏览器版本可在UNIGINE开发者门户的下载专区获取。下载浏览器后完成安装，即可通过它安装所需版本的UNIGINE SDK以使用全部引擎功能。简要流程如下：

Download and install SDK Browser.下载并安装SDK浏览器。
After installation, launch SDK Browser and authorize using the data received in the registration email. Click Options and make sure that the server is set to a preferable location (Global or China). Then press SIGN IN.安装完成后，启动SDK 浏览器并使用注册邮件中收到的数据登录。点击Options并确保服务器设置为首选位置（Global或China）。然后点击SIGN IN。
To start working, you should have an SDK installed. In the SDKs tab, you can install a new version of an SDK or add an already installed one.开始工作前，你需要安装SDK。在SDKs选项卡中，你可以安装新版本的SDK或添加已安装的SDK。

To install a new SDK:After successful project creation, you can work with content in UnigineEditor or launch the project itself. If you click on the three dots sign, additional launch options will appear where you can choose whether to launch debug or release version of the application and specify additional parameters.安装新SDK的步骤：
- Click the ADD SDK button.点击ADD SDK按钮。
- In the Add SDK window select the preferred SDK type in the Edition field (Community, Engineering, Sim or Editor). Select the SDK version in the Version field.在Add SDK窗口的Edition字段中选择所需的SDK类型（Community, Engineering, Sim或Editor）。在Version字段中选择SDK版本。
- Click Install. The downloading and installation progress will be shown under the menu on the left and on the SDK tab.点击Install。下载和安装进度将显示在左侧菜单下方和SDK选项卡中。
Once the SDK is installed, it needs to be activated: click the activation button, select Floating in the window (recommended in most cases), and click ACTIVATE.SDK安装完成后需激活：点击激活按钮，在弹窗中选择Floating模式（多数场景推荐），点击 ACTIVATE。
After successful activation, you can create projects. To do this, go to the My Projects tab and click CREATE NEW (a new project is created for the current SDK selected by default).激活成功后即可创建项目：转到 My Projects 标签页，点击 CREATE NEW（默认基于当前选中的SDK创建新项目）。
Then you will see the project settings window. In this window, specify the project name and select C++ (Visual Studio 2015+) API.随后会弹出项目设置窗口。在此窗口中需要输入项目名称，然后选择 C++ (Visual Studio 2015+) 开发接口。
To install a new SDK:After successful project creation, you can work with content in UnigineEditor or launch the project itself. If you click on the three dots sign, additional launch options will appear where you can choose whether to launch debug or release version of the application and specify additional parameters.项目创建成功后，可在UnigineEditor中编辑内容或直接运行项目。点击三点图标可展开高级启动选项，选择调试版/发行版应用程序并配置额外参数。
