## Basic Yarn Spinner for Unity Usage

1. **Install Unity 2022.3 or newer**.
2. **Create a new empty Unity project**, by following [the instructions in the Unity manual](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GettingStarted.html).
3. **Install Yarn Spinner into the project**, by following the instructions in [](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/yarn-spinner-for-unity/installation-and-setup "mention").
4. **Add a Dialogue System to the scene:**, by opening the GameObject menu and choosing Yarn Spinner -> Dialogue System.
5. **Create a new** **Yarn Spinner Script**, by opening the Assets menu and choosing Create -> Yarn Spinner -> Yarn Script. Name the new file `HelloYarn`.
6. **Open the new Yarn script** by double-clicking it.
   1. Select all of the text in the file, and delete it.
   2. Copy the text below, and paste it into the file.

You can learn about our recommended editor, Visual Studio Code with the [Yarn Spinner for Visual Studio Code extension](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/write-yarn-scripts/yarn-spinner-editor).
{% endhint %}

7. **Save the file and return to Unity.**
8. **Create a new** [**Yarn Project**](https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/yarn-spinner-for-unity/yarn-spinner-in-unity-scenes/yarn-projects) **that uses this script**, by selecting the `HelloYarn` file, and clicking the Create New Yarn Project button in the Inspector. This will create a new Yarn Project called `Project`. Projects are collections of Yarn scripts that get compiled together, and can be used with a Dialogue Runner.
9. **Make the Dialogue Runner use the Project** by dragging the Project you just made into the Dialogue Runner's Yarn Project field.
10. **Play the game** by clicking the Play button at the top of the window. Your dialogue will appear!
