Hi dark space studios, Once you have an account, go to Dashboard on [UnrealEngine.com](http://UnrealEngine.com) and follow link for setting up your account through GitHub. instructions for setting up a source build are included on GitHub page. Hope that helps! ---

Launcher does not have full engine source code. You have to pull from github to get full source. ---
