[Solved] Fab on Linux?

Development Getting Started & Setup
,

Edit: I asked because I was afraid of breaking my linux install. I just went for it and put the fab file in the plugins folder in the Unreal engine files. It just works. Didn’t need to download the source version of the engine, didn’t need to recompile.

How are we supposed to use the fab plugin on linux?

There are the fab plugin files on the Linux download page, so I assume I have to build it myself. Is this correct? Also, how do I know which one is the right version? I’m running UE 5.3.2, but would fab 5.3.0 work for all 5.3.x versions?

The documentation is quite lacking right now. Can anyone help me out?

Problem solved I guess … Downloaded the Fab and just put the map ,after unzipping, in the actual project plugin map.

which directory did you unzip it in? I tested in both 5.3.2 and 5.5.1 and had no problems on mint

I can get the plugin to work but when I open it and select an item from My Library, it continuously says “View in Launcher”. When I try to select FAB from the launcher, it takes me to the same page. I’m so confused. I found the “FAB Settings” link in the top left and tried changing the directory, but still the only option I can ever get when selecting things from My Library is “View in Launcher”. How do I actually download the assets and get them to work?
