I installed Unity3d on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It works, and I want to get started. So I make a C# script, and when I try to open it nothing happens. No error message, no anything. I just double click it or right click and select "open", and nothing happens. So I went to preferences, and I selected the gnome text editor, and when I double click it now, it opens up the script. So it is clearly a problem with MonoDevelop. When I try to open up MonoDevelop without using unity3d, just the application, nothing happens a well. Does anyone know what the problem is, and how to solve it?

Thank you.

As I don't have enough rep to comment on your question, I'll have to ask you this through the answer.

Did you try to open monodevelop through the bash (open a terminal then type monodevelop and press enter)

In case monodevelop is not installed, you might need to install it yourself

sudo apt-get install monodevelop

I was having the same issue.

The script for opening monodevelop needed a program called realpath that I didn't have. So:

sudo apt-get install realpath

Experts: there are alternative methods to installing realpath ;)

Also you might want to double-check that Unity3D has the correct path to monodevelop;

  • Open Unity3D, in the menus go to Edit > Preferences.
  • Go to the External Tools tab.
  • Open the drop-down menu External Script Editor and select Browse... (below).

Preferences Window

Depending on where you have MonoDevelop installed you should select the script named monodevelop.

I had MonoDevelop installed with Unity3D.

Path Explanation

Find the monodevelop folder and select MonoDevelop/bin/monodevelop.
