How do I download Lyra Starter Game in Linux With Fab

I am using Unreal Engine 5.3. I need to download Lyra Starter Game (an Epic games tutorial game). I added fab plugin to engine. I added Lyra Starter game to my library. How can I see my vault? It does not open.

Unfortunately, Epic has yet to make the Vault or Epic Games Launcher available on Linux, and I’ve yet to see a public response on when or if it’s ever coming.

This does not appear to have Fab support yet:

I was, however, finally able to get access to Lyra via this:

&, despite the project not working on initial load, utilizing the build tool command allowed me to compile it for my OS and run it!:

~/UnrealEngine/Releases/5.5.0/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Linux/Build.sh LyraEditor Linux Development -Project="~/UnrealEngine/VaultFromLegendary/Lyra_5.5/Lyra.uproject"

I now see duplicate listings for the majority of assets in my library, so I assume it does work with Fab. Haven’t actually purchased/claimed anything through Fab on account of it somehow being worse than the old marketplace, but it (Fab) does recognise things I purchased on the old marketplace and says they are in my library, combined with the duplicates I now see that certainly suggest it will work.

In any case, you have found a solution that works, so moot point. Happy coding :slight_smile:

Ok, I have an extremely lame way of doing this that I stumbled upon.

I’m running Ubuntu as my host OS.

Download VirtualBox (or your favorite virtualization software).
Create a Windows guest OS.
On the Windows guest OS, install Epic Games Launcher.
Click on Unreal Engine and view your Fab Library under the Library tab.

Create Project on your sample project.

This will download and create the selected project. Once the project has been created, right click on the project under My Projects and go to Show in folder.

Open a shared location on your host, then copy the projects to the shared location.

Please see below for a picture of this, black background folder is from the host, white background (and Epic app) are from the Guest VM. I will be doing this for Lyra shortly, but worked for StackOBot and others.
