Status Of Unreal Engine 5 On Linux - How To Install?

Hi,

If we want to use current Unreal Engine 5 on Linux, do we need to build from source?
We are using Manjaro KDE Linux (Arch Linux based distro).
Let us know know, thanks!

Hi BetaMaxHero,

Until very recently you did need to build from source, but about a month ago (July 2022) they released a pre-built version.

I’m not sure about compatibility with Manjaro Linux, but check the ‘full requirements’ for specifics. Let us know how setup goes for you!

Cheers.

Hi,

Thanks for the official link!
Why does Linux version require 32GB RAM??
Also, can the Linux version build for all the same platforms as the Windows version?

Dear EPIC, please offer version without .pdb and starter content too for users with “slow/wonky/spotty” internet speeds. In future i mean when Unreal becomes more stable on Linux.
