Running this on ubuntu:16.04 in attempt to create a docker image with the 2018.3.0f2 Unity for headless builds. Dockerfile here - https://gitlab.com/nbelisle11/unity3d/blob/master/Dockerfile

This command still works for 2017.4.8f1.

I've confirmed that u3d available -p -o mac returns

u3d install 2018.3.0f2 -p Unity,Mac-IL2CPP --verbose -t; fails with the same error

Hey @nbelisle11 ! Currently u3d does not support cross platform installation (ie installing mac Unity on a Linux machine which appears to be your case). So while you are completely right that the Mac package does exist for Mac (as outputed by u3d available -p -o mac), it does not exist for linux:

$ u3d available -p -u 2018.3.0f2 -o linux
Version 2018.3.0f2: https://beta.unity3d.com/download/6e9a27477296/
Packages:
 - Unity
 - Android
 - iOS
 - Mac-Mono
 - WebGL
 - Windows-Mono
 - Facebook-Games

I'm not very familiar with Docker so I cannot help you too much in that direction, but taking a look at your Dockerfile, it really seems to me like you're asking u3d to install on Linux, which means that you should ask for Mac-Mono rather than Mac.

Hope this helps

By the way, the reason this commands works for previous versions of Unity is because they changed their naming conventions for the Mac package!

$ u3d available -p -u 2017.4.8f1 -o linux
Version 2017.4.8f1: https://beta.unity3d.com/download/8140fe378247/
Packages:
 - Unity
 - Documentation
 - StandardAssets
 - Example
 - Android
 - iOS
 - Mac
 - WebGL
 - Windows
 - Facebook-Games

Ugh I'm an idiot. I thought that u3d available -p -o mac was telling me which versions were available which contained the mac package. Not which versions and packages are available for installation on a mac.

u3d install 2018.3.0f2 -p Unity,Mac-Mono,Windows-Mono --verbose -t; solved my problem, thanks so much for the detailed response!
