Unity 2017.4 has no package manager
There is no Package Manager menu item in Unity 2017.4.2 (it should be in Windows->Package Manager ) How can I use it? Where is it located?
It works for Unity 2018.1 but why it was hidden for Unity 2017.4.2 ?
I tried to removed whole Unity folder in AppData
Tried this but not helps https://answers.unity.com/questions/1423264/unity-20172-not-workingunity-package-manager-error.html

I'm also facing the same issue. Did you find any solution for this?

Hello. So, it seems that the API was added in 2017.2, but the GUI wasn't added until 2018.1. Here's a source on the addition in 2017.2 https://blogs.unity3d.com/2017/10/12/unity-2017-2-is-now-available/ and here's a source on the addition in 2018.1 https://blogs.unity3d.com/2018/05/04/project-management-is-evolving-unity-package-manager-overview/
I don't know how you were supposed to work with the package manager API before 2018.1. I have been mostly unsuccessful finding any information on this. There is some info under UnityEditor.PackageManager in the 2017.4 script documentation. I can't link to any parent documentation, but I can link to a child document, and you can find the other documentation in the tree on the left https://docs.unity3d.com/2017.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/PackageManager.Client.html
