VRChat Package Manager (VPM) is a feature of the Creator Companion, that helps creators keep their VRChat SDK, packages, and repositories updated, streamlining the creation and management process of VRChat avatar and world projects.[1]

Overview

VRChat Package Manager offers a more streamlined experience with project management.

VRChat Package Manager was announced during the April 2021 Developer Stream[2], and initially introduced[3] to Open Beta on May 17, 2022, then fully released[4] on August 30, 2022. This package manager uses a similar format to Unity's Package Manager, and utilizes version matching[5], specifically SemanticVersioning[6], for most - if not all official VRChat software.

With VPM, you can import and track community packages, repositories, and dependencies.

Creators can also create, and import community packages and repositories[7] to the VRChat Creator Companion, and subsequently, their projects by downloading and following VRChat's template package on GitHub.
