I’m trying to use the Remote Control plugin with UE5.7.4 on a Mac (MacOS Sequoia 15.7.4 (24G517)).
I installed Node.js, and terminal returns “v24.15.0” for a “node -v” command.
Launching Unreal with the RC plugin on gets a “Failed to Launch the Remote Control Web Interface” error.
Following is in the output log:
LogRemoteControlWebInterface: [Pending] Launching Remote Control Web Interface - Downloading NodeJS …
LogRemoteControlWebInterface: Error: [Failure] Failed to Launch the Remote Control Web Interface - WebApp exited
Looks like UE is trying to install Node.js itself and is failing there?
Is there any way to “tell it” about the existing Node.js install?
Any way of helping it install what it wants?
Using this Mac with UE5.7.4 to operate DMX lighting in our studio.
That functionality is working great and would now like to be able to use RC plugin to facilitate external commands to trigger lighting configurations over our network.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions that can help.
