Hello.I managed to download the zip file for the latest Unreal engine. I’m having trouble getting it to run . I am on a fully updated install of Linux Mint.I posted on the mint forum since the os handles zip files. The awesome folks just posted bits and links from unreal info,etc.They did link a vid of a lady from unreal that got it working and my install has similar unreal files but not the one she right clicks on and opens the CLI with and opens UE eventually.
I can give a detailed explanation if anyone here is on Linux.
You will need to extract the zip somewhere, just double clicking it in GNOME file manager should do the job, there will then be a directory called ‘Linux_Unreal_Engine_5.4.2’ (in the same directory the zip was in; and assuming current version, name may obviously vary otherwise!).
The ‘goodies’ are within, binaries of interest can be found in /Engine/Binaries/Linux.
e.g. assuming you extracted the zip in your home directory then: ~/Linux_Unreal_Engine.5.4.2/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealEditor
Will launch the editor.
This video is the closest I’ve come to success. ican follow along with her until she gets to right clicking the epicwebhelper where I get stuck.I just don’t have that entry in my system at that location to right click on. Could it be a small difference between a ubuntu and a mint install?
The only time I have access to a folder named epic weblauncher is before I extract the engine folder, and when I right click on it it doesn't have an option to go to the CLI. And hello again silnarm and thank you for the help.
