# Install Addressables
|
|
|
|
To install the Addressables package, open the Package Manager window (**Window** > **Package Management** > **Package Manager**) and perform one of the following options:
|
|
|
|
* [Install it from the registry](xref:um-upm-ui-install)
|
|
* [Add the package by its name](xref:um-upm-ui-quick) (`com.unity.addressables`)
|
|
|
|
## Set up the Addressables system
|
|
|
|
The Addressables system needs a folder for its settings, which you can automatically create when you open the Addressables Groups window for the first time. To create a folder for the Addressables settings in your project, perform the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the [Addressables Groups window](GroupsWindow.md) (**Window** > **Asset Management** > **Addressables** > **Groups**).
|
|
1. Select **Create Addressables Settings**, or drag an asset into the window.
|
|
|
|
When you run the __Create Addressables Settings__ command, the Addressables system creates a folder called, `AddressableAssetsData`, in which it stores settings files and assets it uses to keep track of your Addressables setup. Add the files in this folder to your source control system.
|
|
|
|
Addressables can create additional files when you change your Addressables configuration. For more information, refer to [Addressable Asset Settings reference](AddressableAssetSettings.md).
|
|
|
|
<br/>*The Addressables Groups window, and the Project window after selecting **Create Addressables Settings**. The Project window contains an `AddressableAssetsData` folder in the `Assets` folder.*
