I was wondering if there is any way to get UE4 for Linux. I don’t have Windows or Mac but would really love to be able to make games with this outstanding engine!  
Any help is greatly appreciated!  
Thanks!

Yes this is the correct information, just one change to that wiki would be to use the current branch which at this day is 4.20 instead of 4.18 as is used there. Otherwise it works great.

Hey, that information is still valid, but the wiki has been removed 🙂 here is the docs link [Linux Quick Start | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Platforms/Linux/BeginnerLinuxDeveloper/SettingUpAnUnrealWorkflow/index.html)
