I can download any version of UE4 no problem, but when I run ./BuildProjectFiles.sh I Get this error:

 ![295903-error3.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/0/4/3/043b15c13efa72ce1e82107f5fe2f505387df73a.png)

What I tried:

- Version 4.22 - 4.24   
- Downloading the Arch package   
- Reinstalling Manajro  
- Restarting PC  
- Downloading dependencies manually

Can anyone help me with this?

Since you mention using Arch package - please try cloning from github directly. The engine bundles the version of mono and compiler that are known to work. AUR unreal-engine package switches to using the system mono, but I don’t think the package is tested for building the engine every time mono is updated.

No no, I did clone the github directly the first time, that didn’t work so I tried the package. Sorry for not making that clear.

Just tested 4.21 and can confirm that it generates project files without a single error.

Is it `./BuildProjectFiles.sh`?  
For me to build a fresh clone I have to run:

```
./Setup.sh
./GenerateProjectFiles.sh
make
```

It is, but the second step always fails.
