The Unofficial Cross-Platform UE4 Launcher

This is a work in progress. Here be dragons!

This project is an unofficial cross-platform Unreal Engine 4 Launcher that aims to be fully featured and work natively on Linux (as well as Windows and Mac).

Features

The launcher is incomplete; however, it should be able to preform most of the important tasks.

It can launch projects as well as download and install assets and plugins from the UE4 marketplace.

It does not yet install the UE4 engine. So, you need to manually install that first. Also, two-factor support has not yet been tested.

There are probably many bugs still, so please file an issue if you have a problem.

Thanks

Since I don't use Windows or macOS, I've never used the official UE4 launcher. So, these open source projects were invaluable to help me understand how the launcher worked.
