I’m using ubuntu 18.04LTS, I’ve downloaded the UE4 and extract it. now I’m trying to install it with the following steps :

  1. ./Setup.sh

  2. ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh

  3. make
    When I try to perform the 3 (make) step I keep on getting this :

  1. sudo mkdir -p UnrealEngine-4.24.3-release && cd UnrealEngine-4.24.3-release/

  2. sudo wget https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/archive/4.24.3-release.tar.gz

  3. sudo tar -xvvf 4.24.3-release.tar.gz

3( sudo ./Setup.sh && ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh && make

Start UE4 in /Unreal-Engine-4.24.3/UnrealEngine-4.24.3-release/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor

My Setup is Corei7 th Gen, 64GB RAM, 1TB HDD (5200 RPM), video card Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060.

ETA compile time:
Total time in Local executor: 219,40 seconds (-/+ 4.05 hours)
Total execution time: 222,03 seconds (-/+ 4.10 hours)

Hope this helps!
