2. Install coherence

Now open the Window / Package Manager.

Select My Registries in the Packages dropdown.

Under coherence, click Install.

Alternative method: edit manifest.json manually

Refer to Unity's instructions on modifying your project manifest.

Edit <project-path>/Packages/manifest.json.
