# Installing in New Project

How to install a Vehicle Combat Kit in a new project.

To install any of the Vehicle Combat Kits in a new empty project, follow the steps below.

{% hint style="info" %}
Installing this way will overwrite all your project settings. This is fine for a new empty project, but if you are installing in an existing project where you want to preserve the settings you already have, [use this guide](/universal-vehicle-combat/installation/installing-in-existing-project-sck.md) instead.
{% endhint %}

1. Create a new project in Unity 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, or 6. Earlier versions are likely compatible, but the asset store's current minimum upload version is 2020.
2. Open the Package Manager by going to the top menu and selecting *Window > Package Manager*. Navigate to 'My Assets' and search for the name of the kit you bought. Click the Download button. Downloading may take a few minutes to complete.

4. Next, you'll get a warning that the project has package manager dependencies. The Vehicle Combat Kits have several package dependencies, such as Post Processing and Input System. Click 'Install/Upgrade'. Installing the packages may take a few minutes.
