Here are the article with instructions: Building On Linux
My experience is that it may take over an hour to compile the engine.

Hi,

Source: Unreal Engine on GitHub

  1. Create your epicgame account Epic Games.
  2. Create your github account.
  3. Edit your epicgame profile and connect to your github (input your github username) Epic Games.
  4. Go to your github page and accept the invitation.
  5. Then you will have full view of the files.

The clang-3.8 package is not available, this may mean that the package is missing, obsolete or only available from some other source.
I using Ubuntu 18.04. How I can to fix this??

To me the compiling was the longest part. It took more than three hours on a quad core i3 laptop. Everything went well, but the compiled UE4Editor did not start. I restarted my laptop and I tried to start the UE4Editor again from Engine/Binaries/Linux/Linux directory. No luck. Is there anything else I have to do to make it work?

no it’s not, because if you actually follow the instructions and link your github with your epic games account, you will suddenly see the content :wink:
