Getting ready

At the time of writing, TextMeshpro is a free Asset Store download and Unity Essentials Beta, so the first step is still to import it via the asset store. By the time you read this, you'll probably find TextMeshPro as a standard GameObject type that you can create in the Scene panel, with no downloading required. So, if required, open the Asset Store panel, search for TextMeshPro, and import this free asset package.
