Animations are done in a separate program, like Maya or 3ds Max. You do the sequences you need, import them into UE 4 and then assemble them into a full animation system with different states, blending and such.
You can really find great animation tutorials on Youtube. It can be a bit scary at first, but if you really want to do it - then it won’t be a problem.
Most people start with basic exercises.
And then they proceed to do some more advanced things like Vanilla Walk, Walk with personality, 180 degree turn or jump.
