Getting Started

Jahro integrates directly into your Unity workflow, providing real-time debugging capabilities without requiring additional setup or dependencies. The installation process takes just a few minutes.

Why Unity developers need better debugging tools

Traditional Unity debugging on mobile devices is complex and time-consuming:

  • Android Debugging: Requires ADB setup, USB cables, manual logcat commands
  • iOS Debugging: Needs Xcode connection, device logs navigation
  • Team Collaboration: Email attachments, scattered debugging data
  • Mobile Testing: No real-time debugging on actual devices

Jahro solves these problems with an integrated Unity debugging tool that works directly on mobile devices.

Requirements

Jahro is designed to work out of the box with minimal requirements. You need Unity 2021.3.0f1 or later, and no additional libraries or packages are required. The tool automatically handles all dependencies and configuration.

Install via Package Manager

The easiest way to install Jahro is through Unity's Package Manager using the Git URL method.

Step 1: Copy the repository URL

https://github.com/jahro-console/unity-package.git

Step 2: Add the package in Unity

  1. Open Unity and go to Window → Package Manager
  2. Click the + button in the top-left corner
  3. Select Add package from Git URL
