Problems installing Yarn

Post by Kaylee »

I watched the tutorial on YouTube about installing Yarn on Unity 3D ( Thanks so much for the tutorial. I also previously watched the video on installing Dialogue System which I have purchased and have up and running.

Unfortunately I can't import Yarn in the way it's described in the video. I keep getting the message "cannot perform upm operation: Unable to add package [https://github.com/YarnSpinnerTool/Yarn ... -Unity.git]: No 'git' executable was found. Please install Git on your system then restart Unity and Unity Hub [NotFound]". Seems I need to have Git installed on my laptop, which I have now done, but am still unable to use the method you describe above to import and install Yarn. I've also tried downloading the Yarn Unity 3D package an installing it directly into Unity, but I can find any way to set up the YarnCustomCommands or to activate Yarn in any way.

I am using Unity 3D version 2019.4.31f1 because that is the version used by VRChat. However, I noticed that the version in the video is 2021.2.2f1, so I am not sure if this is the problem.

Any guidance that can be offered would be hugely appreciated.

Hi Kaylee,

My timing wasn't great for the release of the video tutorial versus the actual Dialogue System version that has Yarn integration. Yarn integration is in Dialogue System version 2.2.23, which is pending release on the Asset Store. The video was released early for beta testers who were testing the Yarn integration.

If you'd like an advance copy, please PM me your Asset Store invoice number for the Dialogue System (or email it to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com) and I'll send you a download link.
