Then we are going to need an Epic account, if you don't have one go to the official Epic website and create an account for free.
Without further ado, here are the steps I followed to be able to download, compile and use Unreal Engine 5 on Linux, including downloading and using assets from the Unreal Engine Marketplace: Epic Registrationįirst, we will have to be registered on GitHub, this is an essential requirement since we will be given access to the source code through this popular platform. A small inconvenience that we will be able to overcome without problems. In no case we will have the freedoms that open source grants us, but for the case that concerns us today it is more than enough.Įpic, in addition to not providing precompiled binaries for Linux, also does not provide the Epic Games Launcher an almost essential platform to be able to download assets from the asset store. This means that it is battle tested to be used in real projects with the aim of being commercially distributed in any market.Įpic doesn't provide precompiled binaries for Linux, but luckely the engine is source available (not to be confused with open source) which means that we can have access to the source code and we can compile it by ourselves. Epic, the company behind the engine, recently announced that their latest release, Unreal Engine 5, has reached stable status.
Unreal Engine is one of the most famous engines for developing video games and a leader in the industry.
