The Unity CLI is a standalone command-line tool for installing and managing Unity Editors and modules from a terminal. It's distributed as its own binary and you can install, update, and use it independently of the Unity Hub desktop application.

The Unity CLI is well suited for:

* Continuous integration (CI) and build agents where installing the full Hub is undesirable.
* Scripting and automation that needs structured output (JSON or TSV) and predictable exit codes.
* Users who prefer a terminal-first workflow for everyday Hub tasks.

If you have existing scripts that use the Hub CLI's `-- --headless` syntax, review the migration guide in the [Unity CLI reference](./unity-cli-reference.md).

[Use the Unity CLI](./use-unity-cli.md): Install the CLI, update it, and complete common tasks such as installing Editors, adding modules, signing in, and opening projects.
