How do I download Lyra Starter Game in Linux With Fab

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.
