I am following this tutorial:

But when I am building for linux (I have installed v20\_clang-13.0.1-centos7) I am having this error when I am building for server. I searched everywhere some people were saying to build from source but as per my knowledge I am building from source by going to Visual Studio \> Right click on UE5 \> Build.

When I am packaging I click on Platforms\> Linux \> Select VRProjectServer in build target \> Package project. It works fine if I build a VRProject (not the server) in build target. But it throws these error if I build VRProjectServer:

UATHelper: Packaging (Linux): \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* BUILD COMMAND STARTED \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Any help would be really helpful

This error message suggests that server targets are not supported from the engine distribution you have installed. It seems that Unreal Engine 5.1 does not include server targets for Linux. To build a Linux server target, you may need to build the engine from source or use a different engine version that supports Linux server targets. Alternatively, you can try building a different target (e.g., VRProject) that doesn’t require a Linux server target, as suggested by the log file.

I suggest looking closer at this resource: [Linux Development Requirements for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/linux-development-requirements-for-unreal-engine/)
