How to upgrade the SDK Unity wrapper

[nataliesettles]

I want to update to the latest version of the SDK in Unity. I've never upgraded a package outside the Package Manager system in the editor and wondered what the cleanest approach is to clearing away the contents of the old SDK package and importing the new one? I could delete the RealSenseSDK2.0 folder and then import the new one - or will importing the new one without deleting simply overwrite any updated files? I'm keen not to make a mess of the project I'm working on so I would appreciate any guidance you could give me.

Hi @nataliesettles I would recommend first making a backup copy of your Unity project folder so that you can easily recover from a problem by using the Unity Hub to load the backup project instead of the damaged one.

You should be able to update your project's SDK version by going to the Assets > RealSenseSDK2.0 > Plugins folder and deleting the two files in that folder, Intel.RealSense.dll and realsense2.dll.

If you have installed the latest version of the full RealSense SDK on your Windows computer by downloading and running the Intel-RealSense-SDK-WIN10 installer program from the 'Assets' file list on the SDK Releases web-page then you can find the latest versions of the two deleted dll files by going to:

C: > Program Files (x86) > Intel RealSense SDK 2.0 > bin > x64

The SDK Releases page can be found at the link below.

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/releases/tag/v2.54.1

Copy and paste Intel.RealSense.dll and realsense2.dll from the bin folder into the Plugins folder of your Unity project to replace the deleted dll files with the latest versions.
