Hello,

I was researching and saw it was possible to install the “UDK” in Linux.  
It would be possible for someone to help me?  
Thanks a lot!

UDK is not UE4

To use the editor on linux you have to build it from the source–the instructions on that page tell you how to do that.

Did you not solve it?  
Or did you solve it?

Follow this guide here. [A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Building_On_Linux)  
And follow it to the letter. Also, You can just skip the part about forking from Github… Just download the zip.

Also… If you’re computer doesn’t meet the req’s… It won’t work.

P.S. It would be that you want to install Unreal engine on Linux. 🙂
