They’re not guaranteed to exist on every system by default. We need some packages that will let us compile source code. Remote: Compressing objects: 100% (32/32), done. It’ll finish with something like this: remote: Enumerating objects: 34, done. It’ll ask for your GitHub credentials and download all necessary files to your hard drive. Open a Terminal Window with Administrator rights, make yourself a memorable directory somewhere nice, navigate to it and let git do the heavy lifting. Click the green button on the right to obtain the URL for the release version (or any other version you prefer). I’ll use git from the command line to checkout the latest version. If you’re running Unreal Engine on Windows and would like to build a Linux version of your game, it may be easier to Cross Compile option and create a Linux binary straight from Windows.
There are no pre-compiled binaries available for any distribution, so let’s compile from source. While the engine source code is available for free, it’s not Open Source. Linux knowledge and a GitHub account are required, and your GitHub account needs to be linked against your EPIC Games account. The latest version at the time of writing is 4.22.3 to be exact. Today we’re installing Unreal Engine on a CentOS 7 system. I usually write about Unreal Engine over on my other website, because it tackles more 3D related topics – but compiling the engine from source is a bit more “blood and gore” thing so I thought it best placed here with all the other Linux topics.
