installing unreal engine on fedora 25

Linking GitHub with EpicGames

In this article you’ll find a way to get unreal engine and make it work on fedora 25. Firstly, you need to signup in github and then link your github account with your epic games account: https://www.unrealengine.com/ue4-on-github Then you should receive an email confirming you joined up to the epic games organization. Once you receive it, you can clone the source code of unreal engine:

git clone https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git
cd UnrealEngine/
./Setup.sh
./GenerateProjectFiles.sh

Installing clang

In my case (Fedora 25), this last command failed, had to install clang:

sudo dnf install clang
clang --version
clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin
./GenerateProjectFiles.sh
make
After that, you should be able to run UnrealEngine Editor:
$ ./UE4Editor "/home/user/Documents/Unreal\ Projects/MyProject/MyProject.uproject"
