Make a directory where perforce can live. Decide which user will run the perforce server. Please avoid running it as root!Ĭondensed to the bare minimum these are the steps to get a Perforce Helix Server up and running in literally minutes: #Perforce download files from server install
If you are doing a production installation, you might want to put in a little more thought about where and on which user you install perforce.
Basically a production installation is the same as their „10 minute test drive“ installation. Getting it running was actually impressively simple. Oh, and please be aware: I am not an expert on perforce! Server sideīasically you have two options: Use a perforce cloud service or install it on your own server. I have to admit, the part of it being free for small teams was a huge plus.

So we did not use the pro integration either.) (Spoiler: The plugin did not work for us and we wanted to use it on our personal projects, too.
It comes integrated into Unity Pro and for Unity Personal there is an official plugin, also free on the asset store. This makes it easy to try out even for a longer period than the usual 30 day trials. Perforce is free for small teams with up to 5 members (Yes, our team is that small…). Investigating what we needed to do, it sounded very promising: Our decision to try out Perforce was based solely on the fact that i had heard more about Perforce than Plastic SCM. But the accompanying documentation page recommended Plastic SCM or Perforce as alternate solutions. But unfortunately, when we finally found the spare time to set it up, the asset server was somehow marked as deprecated. We tried different solutions like svn or git and always ran into troubles often sooner than later.Īfter licensing Unity Pro we planned to at least use the asset server to avoid having to sort trough tons of indiviual copies and „branches“ on multiple workstations. 
We have been using Unity for a long time now and we have always been struggling with any type of version control / centralized storage for our projects.
