What is Unreal Engine ?
Unreal Engine is a powerful game engine developed by Epic Games. The latest version, Unreal Engine 5, brings a number of new features and improvements to the engine, including next-generation rendering capabilities, enhanced animation tools, and improved physics simulation. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Unreal Engine 5 on Arch Linux.
Before we start, make sure that you have the required dependencies installed on your system:
sudo pacman -S mono python git wget
Next, download the Unreal Engine installer script using the following command:
git clone git@github.com:EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git --branch release --single-branch
Make the script executable by running the following command:
chmod +x UnrealEngine.sh
Now we are ready to install Unreal Engine. Run the following command to start the installation process:
