+## Installing from GitHub
+
+Note: Installing Unity packages directly from Git requires a git binary to be installed on the system and is only supported in Unity 2019.1 or newer. The process is described in detail in [Unity's documentation](https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.3/Documentation/Manual/upm-git.html).
+
+1. Open package manager window in Unity 'Windows -> Package Manager'
+2. Click the + icon in the top-left corner, choose the 'Add package from git URL...' option
+3. Enter the appropriate URL for the repository/branch/revision you'd like to add to the project - see Unity's docs for all available options. E.g. to add the latest official version of the plugin for Houdini 19, enter the URL 'https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnity.git#Houdini19.0'. If you've forked the repo, replace the base URL with your own repository.
