Issue Setting up UE4 in Ubuntu. Need to do it to run tests on a project using a server with faster hardware, but Linux only.

UE has been cloned and built: setup.sh, generateprojectfiles.sh,

However even with default blank c++ projects, It gives error Unable to build while UE is running, build through your IDE.

Even after building in VSCode same cycle repeats

Tried the steps in this link

No effect. Any suggestions and help welcome
[Problems in C++ projects only, blueprinting works fine as far as I can tell]

You need to start the editor and set the default Source Code Accessor. Then you will be able to create C++ projects.

In VS Code try to build with Terminal->Run Build Task… and select “ProjectNameEditor Linux Development Build” where ProjectName - name of your project.
