More info
The VRChat Creator Companion (VCC) is the official app that streamlines building avatars and worlds for VRChat: it installs or detects the required Unity Editor, manages VRChat SDKs and community packages through the VRChat Package Manager (VPM), and gives you templates and tools to create, upgrade, and open projects. To get started, download and install VCC from the VRChat download page, then run it and choose Create New Project (Avatar or World), pick a location, and let VCC install the correct Unity version and SDK for you. See the VCC getting started guide for step-by-step setup and troubleshooting. VCC getting started guide
After creation, open your project from VCC to launch Unity in the correct target platform, sign into the VRChat SDK control panel, and upload content. VCC also handles project upgrades and package installs, and it offers CLI support on macOS/Linux (GUI is Windows-first). If you prefer, community tools and the GitHub repo document alternatives and advanced workflows. For downloads and the full docs, check the official VCC docs and VRChat creator resources.
