# Environment Setup

> Getting ready for VRse Builder on your workstation

Currently the VRseBuilder Unity SDK is shared as a ZIP file (lame, we know). Stay tuned for the Automatic SDK Updater.

The ZIP file is an entire Unity project, so you MUST start your VR module with the zipped Unity project. If you have your assets present in another project, we recommend creating a package of assets and then importing them into the new project.
