Hi all!
There is my solution for marketplace suppot in ubuntu. It’ll be same for any other linux distributions.
Install and setup Wine.
Wiki is here: Ubuntu WineHQ Repository - WineHQ Wiki
Download winetricks
Install required tools using winetricks
sudo apt install winbind
winetricks corefonts
sudo apt install cabextract
Download latest official version of Launcher.
Run installation using wine
wine msiexec /i <path-to-launche-installer>.msi
After installation process finished first time run Launcher using wine with argument “SkipBuildPatchPrereq” to disable update process. Next time this argument isn’t necessery anymore.
wine 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/Launcher/Portal/Binaries/Win32/EpicGamesLauncher.exe' -SkipBuildPatchPrereq
Launcher is ready now, but it will not find any projects you created. To fix that you should do next steps:
Open “My Documents” folder of wine. Usually placed in “~/.wine/drive_c/users//My documents/”.
Open or create folder “Unreal projects”. You shuold have something like that: “~/.wine/drive_c/users/Мои документы/Unreal Projects”.
Make symbolic link to your project’s folder.
cd "~/.wine/drive_c/users/Мои документы/Unreal Projects"
ln -s <path-to-your-ue4-project> ./<project-name>
Restart Launcher.
Now you can download any assets to your projects.
Neomer, you’re my true heroe, it works like a charm. It’s not that I didn’t appreciate the java versions;however, to be honest it brings a lot of troubles. The wine version, not Lutris is easy to follow and works.
