I try to build unreal from source (linux) and stuck

[Idan_Zoari]

the course:

me:

i dont know why when i press enter its send me “bash: ./Setup.sh: No such file or directory”"
instead of start updating…
i kind of new for linux…

when i install the unreal engine from terminal its was on the desktop (i open the desktop terminal and then install the unreal engine unlike the course, my bad didnt see that i on the desktop terminal…) anyway after install the unreal i just change his location from “desktop” to “home”.
now if i write in terminal “ls” i can see the UnrealEngine (same as the course).

you think the problem its becuse i change location or becuse i install to desktop?
how i fix this?

What is the ls output of the UnrealEngine folder?

[Idan_Zoari]

on the screenshot u can see the ls output of the UnrealEngine

[Digitz]

It’s not there. I see the ls output of your home folder, but not of UnrealEngine.

[Idan_Zoari]

the outout is Engine

[Digitz]

So there is no file named Setup.sh in your UnrealEngine folder. That is why you are getting the error. It could be in the Engine folder if you check there.

[Idan_Zoari]

no, the output is Build, the output of Build is Commit.gitdeps.xml…

maybe if i install againe (start all againe it will be fixed? or maybe should i install the newest version of the engine?

[Digitz]

Then I would say the files didn’t move properly when you moved UnrealEngine into your Home folder. Best approach is to re-download from GIT.

In your terminal, go to the directory (folder) you want to run Unreal Engine from then run the git clone command:
git clone https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git

Once that is done, you’ll see that all the proper files are there to run and you’ll be able to use ./Setup.sh

[Idan_Zoari]

didnt work, same problem

[Idan_Zoari]

well… i know why there is no Setup.sh in my UnrealEngine folder…

in the other version there is a Setup.sh file and alot more (unlike 4.22 version that as only the Engine/Build)…
i will install the newer version, and i gess all will be fixed.
ty for ur help !!

That’s all it was pulling from GitHub. Glad you got it figured out because I was about to be as stuck as you were.
