## Unity Package Manager

### 1. Add the Scoped Registry

First, go to *Edit > Project Settings*. Under [Package Manager](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PackageManager.html), add a new Scoped Registry with the following information:

* Name: `coherence`
* URL: `https://registry.npmjs.org`
* Scope(s): `io.coherence.sdk`

## Alternative method: edit *manifest.json* manually

Refer to Unity's instructions on [modifying your project manifest](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-scoped.html#managing).&#x20;

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

Add an entry for the coherence sdk on the `dependencies` object, and for the scoped registry in the `scopedRegistries` array:

```javascript
{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.unity.collab-proxy": "1.3.9",
