NDI can base an environment on standard SDK software packages as well as Unity software packages.
This section describes how to create an environment using Unity as a basis.
-
Start NDI and click Dev Environments.
-
Click Create My Own.
If there is already an environment on your system, before clicking Create My Own, click New Environment above the environment list on the left of the screen.
-
Click Install To Disk.
-
If not already logged in to NDI, a dialog box is displayed requesting that you to log in to your account. Before continuing further, from the Server drop-down list box, select Nintendo Developer Portal and enter the Nintendo Developer ID that you use to access the Nintendo Developer Portal.
-
Click Connect.
- After completing the log in process, select the Nintendo Switch as the Platform and Unity as the Toolset for the environment. After making these selections, click Next to continue.

- Select the version of Unity to install. Generally, install the latest version. Click Next to continue.

- On the choose location screen, enter the directory on the system where the environment will be installed. Ensure there is enough storage space to hold the current software and to expand in case of future updates. Click Next to continue.

- In the Unity Toolset, Unity is checked by default on the bundle selection screen. Software and tools available to Unity are already selected. For more information on the software a bundle contains, click the information icon to the right of the bundle name.
If you uncheck Unity, only the minimum package will be installed. Specify the bundle you need, and click Next.
(FYI: To select packages manually, click “Go to Detailed Package Management Instead”, and then select the packages you need.)


After software selection, follow these steps to complete installation.
- A summary of the software to be installed is displayed, including the total size of the files to be downloaded. Click Install to start the download and installation process.

- After the installation has completed, click Finish.

- NDI returns to the Dev Environments list and displays the new environment.
