If you're getting a 404 error when trying to view the Unreal Engine repository on Github, then you have to double check that you are signed into a Github account that is a member of the Epic Games Github organization. Note that it may take some time for your account to be added to the Epic Games organization. If you're still getting a 404 error after verifying your account and waiting some time, then you may have to disconnect your Github account from your Epic Games account and redo the connection process that we just went over from the beginning of the video up until [in clip 7 when I say "just a reminder that links to the major web pages and other useful information referenced in this video will be in the description below"]. You may be prompted to sign in to your Github account after initiating the 'git clone' command. If prompted, make sure to provide Git the crendentials to the Github account that you connected to your Epic Games account. Otherwise, the 'git clone' command will fail. If not prompted, but the 'git clone' command failed, then Git might be using credentials that are cached in memory and linked to an account that is not part of the Epic Games Github organization. There are links in the description to more information on how to check this, deal with this, and troubleshoot other cloning errors. When trying out the actively worked on, aka less stable, branches, an error may occur while generating project files, compiling the engine, or starting up the editor. For the two latter cases, I suggest first, if applicable, to repair your visual studio installation, and then build or rebuild the engine. If using Visual Studio, consider doing a clean before building/rebuilding. Sometimes, it may be necessary to rerun the Setup and GenerateProjectFiles scripts before compiling again. Note that this is what I would do when there are no clear reasons as to why the failure came about. If that doesn't work, and for errors that happen while generating project files, you can try the following options: 1) Find the file or piece of code that is causing the issue and resolve the problem yourself. 2) Wait until the error gets resolved by someone else at a later date and pull those fixes from github after those commits get merged with the remote epic games branch. 3) Look in the repository's commit history and go back to a working commit hash using 'git checkout', or undo the changes made by a bad commit using 'git revert'. Whichever one of the above courses of action you end up pursuing, be sure to rerun the Setup and GenerateProjectFiles scripts before attempting to build the engine again just to be safe. An example that I encountered while filming this video was that on the 5.0 branch, I was getting an error related to duplicate definitions of a function in a class, while generating project files. In this situation, I was able to pinpoint the recent commit that caused this issue, github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/6fc4d3b7824dd3d5db17175ca461c9829cb092e8#diff-4afc171b0d3176ca8128e7ae779ff2719a6fd0ba76ac04f20d7491952a9fab01 and I could have just removed the duplicate definition, but luckily the next day, a commit was pushed to the 5.0 branch on the epic games unreal engine github repo, github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/11426c5cf634cc8500a4c71a24c0fbe76b9ab3f6#diff-4afc171b0d3176ca8128e7ae779ff2719a6fd0ba76ac04f20d7491952a9fab01 and I was able to just pull the changes (git pull origin 5.0), regenerate the project files, and rebuild the engine. If I was really in a hurry, I could have also reverted the changes made by the commit that caused the problem by doing 'git revert ' In addition to reverting the commit, you can also check out (git checkout ) a commit that was made before the commit that caused the issue. In order to find commits before a specific commit, you can run 'git log ' (commits are listed in descending order of commit date with the first one being the commit you specified in the command). Normally, the project files will generate fine and the engine will build successfully with no difficulties when building an official release or a branch of unreal engine that isn't very active.
If compiling the engine in Visual Studio fails due to low memory/heap space, then you'll either have to free up space on the current drive or move the engine to another drive with sufficient space before rebuilding the engine. Note that Unreal Engine 5 source takes up a lot of space. As you run the batch files and compile the engine, that source build directory gets bigger and bigger, so this issue may not be realized at first. I recommend placing the engine repo in a drive that has at least 200GB of free space, since the final built version of UE5, for me, takes up more than 150GB. The engine does not have to be in the main C drive, nor does it have to be in the same drive as the one that your Unreal projects are in. Also, if you have to move the engine, then sometimes, you may have to rerun Setup.bat and GenerateProjectFiles.bat before building the engine again. In rare instances, you may have to run the `git clean -dfx` and `git reset --hard` commands in your local repo before running the batch files again to clean up the repo and start over again when working in a new drive. Other times, you don't have to run the batch files again after moving to another drive, and cleaning the engine solution in Visual Studio before building will suffice. Lastly, you can try making the engine build size smaller by excluding specific build target platforms from the engine by passing specific parameters to Setup.bat; more info about that can be found here, forums.unrealengine.com/t/tutorial-how-to-use-setup-bat-and-how-to-reduce-download-size/17640.
I'm not too sure, unreal 5 is huge so I'm surprised you had a small build for 5.2, unless you did stuff not covered in this video to reduce the build size.
For those who are building Unreal Engine 5 from source with Visual Studio 2022, make sure that you include the .NET Core 3.1 Runtime (LTS) individual component in your Visual Studio installation. It is needed when creating C++ projects for UE5.
need to say something about this ....when building the UE5 on visual studio the biashhh will be 200GB large after building so make sure that your drive got enough space to store the ue 5 build :)))))))))))) ...and also take in mind that the build will be like 5-8 hours long shit :)))))) so take your time put the build job over night or when you leave home ... and this with last generation computer i711800 ,32ram,rtx,ssd :)))))))))) (no bullshitting) (after all that gotta mention that this tutorial is perfect and all working perfectly just like in the video if you folow the exact steps) good luck to you all!
If you are trying to do this through the command line interface, you may need a personal access token now. If you download a visual git interface like git desktop, you can clone the project through that without having a personal access token.
Built UE5 successfully today, thanks for the guide. The editor has changed so much since the EA build last spring. I am disturbed by these things they call Quarter Cylinders :)
Is there any way to make the build shorter so that it doesn't take so long? Out of 4,700, 600 elements were built for almost 12 hours… And can you tell me which components affect the speed of build? SSD is fast, but the processor is not quite.
Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to speed up the build. You could technically pass flags to Setup.bat to reduce the number of components you install but I don't have too much experience with this. The components that affect build speed are RAM and CPU mainly. For reference, these were my specs and build time ruclips.net/video/_9_B63-5bZM/видео.htmlsi=VABydKnp_On5ej_m
could I get some help? I'm at the "git checkout" part (7:35) and instead of seeing "Update Files" it's talking about a "detached HEAD" state? As far as I understand, 5.3.0-release is currently the most updated tag. Here: $ git checkout 5.3.0-release Note: switching to '5.3.0-release'. You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch. If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example: git switch -c Or undo this operation with: git switch - Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false HEAD is now at a3cb3d8fdec1 5.3.0 release
Hey sorry for the late response but I think this is ok. The reason you're in a detached head state is because HEAD normally points to the latest commit on a branch, but a tag is a specific commit, not necessarily the latest. However that may be what you want since you're targeting a specific release so you're good to go.
Yea good point. It is much quicker if you have an existing project already, generate project files for it with a source build engine, then build the project in visual studio.
When I do the ./setup.bat command in GIT BASH on my windows computer, script stops with an error because it cant find the UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe - I cant find it either.. Where can I find/install/download it?
Solved it - Seems like starting the setup.bat in GIT BASH didnt give me the opportunity to check/download the dependencies.. Just skipped right over it and then naturally didnt find the UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe file.. Instead of GIT BASH, I ran the same script through CMD interface (without the ./ of course) and then it all went well. Thank you anyway for an awsome video :D
The reason why the Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe file is not existing is that the "Checking dependencies" part of Setup.bat failed, hence the UE4PrereqSetup executable was not generated. My guess is that you're on a bad commit. I'm on commit c41b419f816d5c7ff96a13c5afcbd5183a29d632 which seems to work fine so far so you can try running `git checkout c41b419f816d5c7ff96a13c5afcbd5183a29d632` to use that version of UE5, and then try running Setup.bat again.
If you are building a version of Unreal Engine 4 instead of UE5, and are getting an error message after generating project files along the lines of "The reference assemblies for a specific version of the .NET framework were not found" or "Your project does not reference a certain version of the .NET framework, add a reference to that version in the target frameworks", then you have to go into the Visual Studio Installer, modify your Visual Studio installation, go to Individual Components, and install the targeting pack for the version of the .net framework specified in the error message. For example, for Unreal 4.27, you need the .NET Framework 4.6.2 targeting pack. Sometimes, if experiencing the latter error, you may have to run the `git clean -dfx` and `git reset --hard` commands in your local repo as well. If you run those git commands, then you'll have to run Setup.bat again before rerunning GenerateProjectFiles.bat.
For Some reason 4.27.2 is asking for 4.5 which is no longer downloadable, I am attempting to build but I get these errors:(Not that I downloaded all SDK you said and all Targeting Packs) Error C4668 ‘_NOEXCEPT_TYPES_SUPPORTED’ is not defined as a preprocessor macro, replacing with ‘0’ for ‘#if/#elif’ UE4 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.22621.0\winrt\wrl\event.h 211 Error C4668 ‘__cpp_noexcept_function_type’ is not defined as a preprocessor macro, replacing with ‘0’ for ‘#if/#elif’ UE4 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.22621.0\winrt\wrl\event.h 211 Error C4668 ‘_NOEXCEPT_TYPES_SUPPORTED’ is not defined as a preprocessor macro, replacing with ‘0’ for ‘#if/#elif’ UE4 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.22621.0\winrt\wrl\event.h 371 Error C4668 ‘__cpp_noexcept_function_type’ is not defined as a preprocessor macro, replacing with ‘0’ for ‘#if/#elif’ UE4 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.22621.0\winrt\wrl\event.h 371 Error MSB3073 The command …..\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat -Target=UE4Editor Win64 Development -Target=ShaderCompileWorker Win64 Development -Quiet -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild exited with code 6.

Thanks, Cloning the Repository seems to be the only way to compile it without errors...unfortunately after doing so without error I tried to launch it from Visual Studio and it screwed it up somehow...I don't know what happened but then I got errors after that, and I couldn't seem to figure out how to fix it so I'm starting over and next time I won't try to launch it from Visual Studio.
Configuration should be as Makefile or exe? By default its Makefile but after successfully compilation process it don't create the main executable of UE4Editor. I use 4.25 Plus version
Yes, but make sure to make a symbolic/hard link afterward because you may have things/programs still referencing the old location, michaeljcole.github.io/wiki.unrealengine.com/Installing_UE4_To_A_Different_Hard_Drive/
For some reason, after I set my UE5 as startup and run the debugger, it builds for an endless amount of time without ever finishing. I'm on my 10th hour and its still building. Anyone got any ideas?
Hmmm, I don't think that would work because when you do the setup, generate project files, and build the engine on one machine, it sets up some sym links and stuff that makes it specific to your machine. I could be wrong though; however, for your use case I'd suggest looking into how to do a rocket or installed build.
You can technically exclude specific modules by passing the exclude flag to Setup.bat but I haven't tried that personally and wouldn't recommend it. Here's a forum post with more info on that, forums.unrealengine.com/t/tutorial-how-to-use-setup-bat-and-how-to-reduce-download-size/17640, and you can google/search about in the forum for further info on reducing the size of the engine. Other than that, the source build will always be huge.
When building project my UE5 was working weird today it was not copying plugin files and adding it to binaries but then i remembered i did windows update other updates dont seem to affect that much. It works fine when i copy old binaries but i think i should Rebuild the whole engine again. So this is what you have been telling in video about am i right? So should i always rebuild UE after Windows update ?
after doing all of that i used ue5-main branch and since 5.1 is coming up how i can retrieve the latest update on the branch after compiled from source?
Hey, to retrieve the latest commits on the ue5-main branch, open up git bash or command prompt, cd to your engine source build location and run `git pull origin ue5-main`
Every time i run ./setup file it ouputs that the gitdependencies.exe is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. please how do I fix this
@@herbertharthur3111 That's odd, and you're cd'd in the right location too? Maybe try running Setup.bat without the ./ at the beginning in command prompt instead.
Yea mine's about that size as well. You can slim it down by passing exclude flags to setup.bat but I personally don't recommend that because it might break the engine.
@@Flopperam I wont, I have plenty of space, I was just curious and making sure. I had a bunch of problems in the beginning but one of your comments to someone having the same issue fixed it. It was the ./Setup.bat not wanting to run properly. using your commit code, if that's what its called, allowed me to get through everything else. Another question, when you download a branch, does it grab the most recent commit or the base version? Should I git checkout 'the latest commit'?
It grabs the most recent commit and as to whether you should grab it or not, it depends cuz there's no telling whether or not it works since 5.0 is being updated rapidly atm. When it officially comes out I'll probably just go back to using only the release builds of unreal rather than using these actively developed-on branches.
@@Flopperam I will be too. I am just using these builds for a plugin. I am still semi new to unreal and wanted to use the new engine to learn off. The plugin doesn't work in the EA version but is working in the source builds. I know its not a perfectly great reason to use the source builds but here we are.
Since downloading 5.0 is about 20gigs to download and I have really slow internet I was curious as to how I could go about Setting up both 4.27 and 5.0 without accidentally overriding the Setup of the previous branch?
Hey, there are many ways to go about this. For instance, you could make/checkout your own branch that forks off the original and commit/stash any changes you have to the engine there. This is more tedious but you could also clone the repo twice and keep a cloned repo per Unreal Engine version that you want to maintain. Hope that helps somewhat.
Just ran `git ls-files | xargs cat | wc -l` on a freshly built version of Unreal and got 45,342,402. However, this command aggregates all files, not just code. So if I filter by cpp files by running `git ls-files | grep .cpp | xargs cat | wc -l`, I get 13,627,783. However, I'm not taking into account header files, non c++ code, etc.. So the ballpark is somewhere in between these two numbers, most likely closer to the lower number. I'm sure you can run your own queries to get exactly what you want. Quick explanation of the queries, `git ls-files` just gets all the files tracked by git in the repo, then the pipe character `|` feeds the output of the command to the left of it to the command to the right of it. `xargs` just feeds input as a variable list argument to the command immediately to the right which in this case is `cat`. We need to `cat` the files altogether because there are so many files in Unreal Engine. The `wc -l` command just counts the number of lines in the files. `grep .cpp` just looks for lines in the input that contain the characters ".cpp"
@@Flopperam Thank you for the reply. One can only imagine the insane amount of work that went into building this masterpiece engine. 13 million lines (of just .cpp) line is no joke. Coupled with the fact that there are loads of mathematics and complex algorithms that went into this. So it was not just lots of basic logic like CRUD applications. Damn!
Can I download another branch instead of the release branch? For example the 4.26 branch. Or do I need to download first the release branch and then the 4.26?
Hey, sorry for the late response. So if you don't want to clone the entire repo and you just want a specific branch, you can add the --single-branch flag to the git clone command like so, git clone github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git --branch branch_or_tag_name --single-branch where branch_or_tag_name can be 4.26 or 4.26.2-release or whatever branch or tag you're interested in. Note that by doing this you won't be able to get other branches in the repo from your local copy without doing some other git commands. If you do want to be able to grab other remote branches from your local repo easily, then you can clone the entire repo and checkout a specific branch or tag like we did in the video, but in one git clone command like the one above without the --single-branch flag, git clone github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git --branch branch_or_tag_name
I did not, I chose the 5.0 branch since that will closely resemble what the first official release of ue5 will be. Maybe before an official ue5 release comes out, Epic will release a preview tag that can be checked out instead.
Pulling ue5-main provides a solution to version 5.2 - compiles fine but not entirely stable of course. Been experimenting with it for 24 hours. Cloning 5.1 now, the time is near !!!
i ran into an issue with git: error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) when checking for deltas. I searched for it but didn't found anything. Tried to clone it multiple times but always same issue, Have you any idea ? ^^' (I'm on Fedora 35)
Try running git clone --depth 1, this should limit the number of commits you're downloading. Not sure what's causing the error but there are so many commits in the repo across so many branches that could be causing issues that it's hard to pinpoint 1.
Hi, thank you for the tutorial! Could you explain how to build only Win64 rather than android, linux and other stuff? I want to keep engine size as small as possible. This would be really helpful. Thanks again!
Hey, when running Setup.bat you can add an exclude flag for each platform you want to ignore. For example, ./Setup.bat -exclude=Linux -exclude=IOS -exclude=Mac -exclude=Android -exclude=LinuxArm64 -exclude=TVOS should exclude the dependencies for the specified platforms. Let me know how this works out for you because I haven't run this command myself but Unreal Engine 5 for me right now is huge so I understand why you're asking the question.
@@Flopperam Hey! Thank you for taking your time and answering! It actually worked, the download size become somewhere near to 10GB but when I was building the engine it failed. I guess it couldn't find some files for certain platforms. Is making changes in other files also required or this is unexpected problem?
Hmmm, what is the build error you're getting? Also, what branch and commit are you on, because if you're not on a release branch/tag then building can always be a gamble with an unstable version of Unreal.
After successful installation I tried to package a game and its giving me error of "windows SDK not setup properly" so I deleted the SDK from visual studio installer and installed a new SDK but still getting the same error, after research I was told to copy a file "hostfix" into "Engine/Binaries/Dotnet/automationtool" and after doing that i still experienced the same issue but then i noticed my "Engine/Binaries/Dotnet/automationtool" and "automationtool launcher" folder was empty with no dependencies in it so I deleted the engine because I though it was a problem from the downloading so I downloaded again and experienced same problem and downloaded again same issues, right now my engine works but no automation tool dependencies, Am using ue5.0.3 release . Was hoping if someone can copy their folder of automation tool folder and automationtool launcher folder under "Engine/binaries/dotnet/" and send to me or anyone with a solution regarding this issue. Thanks
Yes, the only thing to keep in mind is that at 9:12, in addition to those three workloads I recommend viewers to install with Visual Studio, make sure to also include the ".NET Framework 4.6.2 targeting pack" individual component with your Visual Studio installation since I've noticed some versions of Unreal Engine 4 use the .NET SDK version 4.6.2. And the only other thing is that at 7:28, you wouldn't checkout the 5.0 branch, but rather the branch or tag representing the version you're interested in, or don't checkout at all and stay on the release branch.
i saw 12400 seconds in build log (11:15 vid). My computer is 13 years old and I'm on a starlink connection.... I'm gonna let my shit run over night for next few nights ....
That I'm not sure unfortunately. You could try asking in the unreal slackers discord. They have a lot of knowledgeable people. Let me know if you need a link.
@@Flopperam no... doesn't seem like open source. i am really surprised that source code can be so easily accessed, however. I compiled it on linux, gonna try making some awesome linux games with it.

It takes a while, especially if you're building ue5, since it's huge. You could speed up the process by generating project files for an existing project then building just the modules needed for the game, but even that will still take a while, at least several hours.

If you're getting a 404 error when trying to view the Unreal Engine repository on Github, then you have
to double check that you are signed into a Github account that is a member of the Epic Games Github organization.
Note that it may take some time for your account to be added to the Epic Games organization.
If you're still getting a 404 error after verifying your account and waiting some time,
then you may have to disconnect your Github account from your Epic Games account and redo the connection process that
we just went over from the beginning of the video up until [in clip 7 when I say
"just a reminder that links to the
major web pages and other useful information referenced in this video will be in the description below"].
You may be prompted to sign in to your Github account after initiating the 'git clone' command.
If prompted, make sure to provide Git the crendentials to the Github account that you connected
to your Epic Games account. Otherwise, the 'git clone' command will fail.
If not prompted, but the 'git clone' command failed,
then Git might be using credentials that are cached in memory and
linked to an account that is not part of the Epic Games Github organization.
There are links in the description to more information on how to check
this, deal with this, and troubleshoot other cloning errors.
When trying out the actively worked on, aka less stable, branches,
an error may occur while generating project files, compiling the engine, or starting up the editor.
For the two latter cases, I suggest first, if applicable, to repair your visual studio installation,
and then build or rebuild the engine.
If using Visual Studio, consider doing a clean
before building/rebuilding. Sometimes, it may be necessary to rerun the Setup and GenerateProjectFiles
scripts before compiling again. Note that this is what I would do when there are no clear reasons
as to why the failure came about. If that doesn't work, and for errors that happen while generating project files,
you can try the following options:
1) Find the file or piece of code that is causing the issue and resolve the problem
yourself.
2) Wait until the error gets resolved by someone else at a later date and pull those fixes from github
after those commits get merged with the remote epic games branch.
3) Look in the repository's commit history and go back to a working commit hash using 'git checkout',
or undo the changes made by a bad commit using 'git revert'.
Whichever one of the above courses of action you end up pursuing, be sure to rerun the Setup and GenerateProjectFiles
scripts before attempting to build the engine again just to be safe.
An example that I encountered while filming this video was that on the 5.0 branch, I was getting an error
related to duplicate definitions of a function in a class, while
generating project files. In this situation, I was able to pinpoint the recent commit that caused this issue,
github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/6fc4d3b7824dd3d5db17175ca461c9829cb092e8#diff-4afc171b0d3176ca8128e7ae779ff2719a6fd0ba76ac04f20d7491952a9fab01
and I could have just removed the duplicate definition, but luckily the next day,
a commit was pushed to the 5.0 branch on the epic games unreal engine github repo,
github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/11426c5cf634cc8500a4c71a24c0fbe76b9ab3f6#diff-4afc171b0d3176ca8128e7ae779ff2719a6fd0ba76ac04f20d7491952a9fab01
and I was able to just pull the changes (git pull origin 5.0), regenerate the project files,
and rebuild the engine. If I was really in a hurry,
I could have also reverted the changes made by the commit that caused the problem by doing 'git revert '
In addition to reverting the commit, you can
also check out (git checkout ) a commit that was made before the commit that caused the issue.
In order to find commits before a specific commit, you can run 'git log ' (commits are listed
in descending order of commit date with the first one being the commit you specified in the command).
Normally, the project files will generate fine and the engine will build successfully with no difficulties
when building an official release or a branch of unreal engine that isn't very active.
If compiling the engine in Visual Studio fails due to low memory/heap space, then you'll either have to free up space on the current drive or move the engine to another drive with sufficient space before rebuilding the engine. Note that Unreal Engine 5 source takes up a lot of space. As you run the batch files and compile the engine, that source build directory gets bigger and bigger, so this issue may not be realized at first. I recommend placing the engine repo in a drive that has at least 200GB of free space, since the final built version of UE5, for me, takes up more than 150GB. The engine does not have to be in the main C drive, nor does it have to be in the same drive as the one that your Unreal projects are in. Also, if you have to move the engine, then sometimes, you may have to rerun Setup.bat and GenerateProjectFiles.bat before building the engine again. In rare instances, you may have to run the `git clean -dfx` and `git reset --hard` commands in your local repo before running the batch files again to clean up the repo and start over again when working in a new drive. Other times, you don't have to run the batch files again after moving to another drive, and cleaning the engine solution in Visual Studio before building will suffice. Lastly, you can try making the engine build size smaller by excluding specific build target platforms from the engine by passing specific parameters to Setup.bat; more info about that can be found here, forums.unrealengine.com/t/tutorial-how-to-use-setup-bat-and-how-to-reduce-download-size/17640.
THIS needs to be one of the first things on the video and/or description
i knew it was going to be big but had no idea it was going to need 200gb+
thanks for the tip
I'm not too sure, unreal 5 is huge so I'm surprised you had a small build for 5.2, unless you did stuff not covered in this video to reduce the build size.
For those who are building Unreal Engine 5 from source with Visual Studio 2022, make sure that you include the .NET Core 3.1 Runtime (LTS) individual component in your Visual Studio installation. It is needed when creating C++ projects for UE5.
can u plz tell me how i install houdini engine in UE5 . . .from Guthub plz sir
Hey I'm not too familiar with Houdini so I can't answer that question unfortunately.
need to say something about this ....when building the UE5 on visual studio the biashhh will be 200GB large after building so make sure that your drive got enough space to store the ue 5 build :)))))))))))) ...and also take in mind that the build will be like 5-8 hours long shit :)))))) so take your time put the build job over night or when you leave home ... and this with last generation computer i711800 ,32ram,rtx,ssd :)))))))))) (no bullshitting) (after all that gotta mention that this tutorial is perfect and all working perfectly just like in the video if you folow the exact steps) good luck to you all!
If you are trying to do this through the command line interface, you may need a personal access token now. If you download a visual git interface like git desktop, you can clone the project through that without having a personal access token.
Built UE5 successfully today, thanks for the guide. The editor has changed so much since the EA build last spring. I am disturbed by these things they call Quarter Cylinders :)
Glad to hear sir!
Is there any way to make the build shorter so that it doesn't take so long? Out of 4,700, 600 elements were built for almost 12 hours… And can you tell me which components affect the speed of build? SSD is fast, but the processor is not quite.
Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to speed up the build. You could technically pass flags to Setup.bat to reduce the number of components you install but I don't have too much experience with this. The components that affect build speed are RAM and CPU mainly. For reference, these were my specs and build time ruclips.net/video/_9_B63-5bZM/видео.htmlsi=VABydKnp_On5ej_m
could I get some help?
I'm at the "git checkout" part (7:35) and instead of seeing "Update Files" it's talking about a "detached HEAD" state? As far as I understand, 5.3.0-release is currently the most updated tag. Here:
$ git checkout 5.3.0-release
Note: switching to '5.3.0-release'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:
git switch -c
Or undo this operation with:
git switch -
Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false
HEAD is now at a3cb3d8fdec1 5.3.0 release
Hey sorry for the late response but I think this is ok. The reason you're in a detached head state is because HEAD normally points to the latest commit on a branch, but a tag is a specific commit, not necessarily the latest. However that may be what you want since you're targeting a specific release so you're good to go.
@@Flopperam yeah sorry I should've edited this comment. I continued on with the tutorial and everything worked fine. Thanks man, it was a big help
You are the man! Thank you so much. You should also do one about compiling against projects, to make the build smaller.
Yea good point. It is much quicker if you have an existing project already, generate project files for it with a source build engine, then build the project in visual studio.
@@Flopperam You meant from Source folder of the project, right?
Yes generate project files for the project
When I do the ./setup.bat command in GIT BASH on my windows computer, script stops with an error because it cant find the UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe - I cant find it either.. Where can I find/install/download it?
Solved it - Seems like starting the setup.bat in GIT BASH didnt give me the opportunity to check/download the dependencies.. Just skipped right over it and then naturally didnt find the UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe file.. Instead of GIT BASH, I ran the same script through CMD interface (without the ./ of course) and then it all went well.
Thank you anyway for an awsome video :D
having the same issue
The reason why the Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us\UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe file is not existing is that the "Checking dependencies" part of Setup.bat failed, hence the UE4PrereqSetup executable was not generated. My guess is that you're on a bad commit. I'm on commit c41b419f816d5c7ff96a13c5afcbd5183a29d632 which seems to work fine so far so you can try running `git checkout c41b419f816d5c7ff96a13c5afcbd5183a29d632` to use that version of UE5, and then try running Setup.bat again.
@@Flopperam yeah went to the latest branch and all worked fine
If you are building a version of Unreal Engine 4 instead of UE5, and are getting an error message after generating project files along the lines of "The reference assemblies for a specific version of the .NET framework were not found" or "Your project does not reference a certain version of the .NET framework, add a reference to that version in the target frameworks", then you have to go into the Visual Studio Installer, modify your Visual Studio installation, go to Individual Components, and install the targeting pack for the version of the .net framework specified in the error message. For example, for Unreal 4.27, you need the .NET Framework 4.6.2 targeting pack. Sometimes, if experiencing the latter error, you may have to run the `git clean -dfx` and `git reset --hard` commands in your local repo as well. If you run those git commands, then you'll have to run Setup.bat again before rerunning GenerateProjectFiles.bat.
For Some reason 4.27.2 is asking for 4.5 which is no longer downloadable, I am attempting to build but I get these errors:(Not that I downloaded all SDK you said and all Targeting Packs)

can you fix it, or anybody? sorry my bad english
You may have to restart your computer, reinstall Visual Studio, or redownload Unreal from source again before rebuilding the engine in Visual Studio.
I have the same issue, did restarting your computer fix it?
You could also try repairing your Visual Studio installation through the visual studio installer.
@@Flopperam Actually, after generating project files, restarting my computer and then building from visual studio fixed it for me. Thank you so much.
when I list out the brances, mine only go up to 4.26. I want ue5. what do i do?
Do a `git fetch origin` command to make sure you have the latest branches, then try again to see if the 5.0 branch is there.
apparently you could do git checkout 5.0 without it showing up on the list of branches
Thanks, Cloning the Repository seems to be the only way to compile it without errors...unfortunately after doing so without error I tried to launch it from Visual Studio and it screwed it up somehow...I don't know what happened but then I got errors after that, and I couldn't seem to figure out how to fix it so I'm starting over and next time I won't try to launch it from Visual Studio.
Configuration should be as Makefile or exe? By default its Makefile but after successfully compilation process it don't create the main executable of UE4Editor. I use 4.25 Plus version
Are you on Linux or Windows?
Does it effect load speed if I download the ue5 source in my external hdd and have projects in my sdd?
I don't think so but I'm honestly not sure either.
How do I move UE to another disk after building it? May I just move the whole "UnrealEngine" folder?
Yes, but make sure to make a symbolic/hard link afterward because you may have things/programs still referencing the old location, michaeljcole.github.io/wiki.unrealengine.com/Installing_UE4_To_A_Different_Hard_Drive/
For some reason, after I set my UE5 as startup and run the debugger, it builds for an endless amount of time without ever finishing. I'm on my 10th hour and its still building. Anyone got any ideas?
It takes a long time to build depending on your computers specs
I have visual studio 2019 enterprise edition, can I build ue5 with it , sec question: unreal engine 5 written in c++?
I'm not sure about the first question but I want to say yes. For the second question, yes
If I want to deploy this to various workstations would I just perform a folder copy to all workstations once I create the build via Visual Studio?
Hmmm, I don't think that would work because when you do the setup, generate project files, and build the engine on one machine, it sets up some sym links and stuff that makes it specific to your machine. I could be wrong though; however, for your use case I'd suggest looking into how to do a rocket or installed build.
Question, the total folder size after build is 200gb~? Have a way to optimize the size of the folder?
You can technically exclude specific modules by passing the exclude flag to Setup.bat but I haven't tried that personally and wouldn't recommend it. Here's a forum post with more info on that, forums.unrealengine.com/t/tutorial-how-to-use-setup-bat-and-how-to-reduce-download-size/17640, and you can google/search about in the forum for further info on reducing the size of the engine. Other than that, the source build will always be huge.
When building project my UE5 was working weird today it was not copying plugin files and adding it to binaries but then i remembered i did windows update other updates dont seem to affect that much. It works fine when i copy old binaries but i think i should Rebuild the whole engine again. So this is what you have been telling in video about am i right? So should i always rebuild UE after Windows update ?
Yes, I believe you are correct. After a windows update, you should rebuild the engine.
after doing all of that i used ue5-main branch and since 5.1 is coming up how i can retrieve the latest update on the branch after compiled from source?
Hey, to retrieve the latest commits on the ue5-main branch, open up git bash or command prompt, cd to your engine source build location and run `git pull origin ue5-main`
Every time i run ./setup file it ouputs that the gitdependencies.exe is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. please how do I fix this
Do you have git installed? And are you using command prompt or git bash?
git bash
@@herbertharthur3111 That's odd, and you're cd'd in the right location too? Maybe try running Setup.bat without the ./ at the beginning in command prompt instead.
@@Flopperam I have done that and am still getting the same output as before
@@herbertharthur3111 Are you on Windows, Mac, or Linux?
Is it normal for source engines to be nearly 200gb?
Yea mine's about that size as well. You can slim it down by passing exclude flags to setup.bat but I personally don't recommend that because it might break the engine.
@@Flopperam I wont, I have plenty of space, I was just curious and making sure. I had a bunch of problems in the beginning but one of your comments to someone having the same issue fixed it. It was the ./Setup.bat not wanting to run properly. using your commit code, if that's what its called, allowed me to get through everything else. Another question, when you download a branch, does it grab the most recent commit or the base version? Should I git checkout 'the latest commit'?
It grabs the most recent commit and as to whether you should grab it or not, it depends cuz there's no telling whether or not it works since 5.0 is being updated rapidly atm. When it officially comes out I'll probably just go back to using only the release builds of unreal rather than using these actively developed-on branches.
@@Flopperam I will be too. I am just using these builds for a plugin. I am still semi new to unreal and wanted to use the new engine to learn off. The plugin doesn't work in the EA version but is working in the source builds. I know its not a perfectly great reason to use the source builds but here we are.
man this is more complex than i thought
Since downloading 5.0 is about 20gigs to download and I have really slow internet I was curious as to how I could go about Setting up both 4.27 and 5.0 without accidentally overriding the Setup of the previous branch?
Hey, there are many ways to go about this. For instance, you could make/checkout your own branch that forks off the original and commit/stash any changes you have to the engine there. This is more tedious but you could also clone the repo twice and keep a cloned repo per Unreal Engine version that you want to maintain. Hope that helps somewhat.
@@Flopperam Cloning the Repo twice seems like the safest way, thanks.
Great, clear and effective.... thanks !!
How long does it take the repository to get cloned? So far it’s been about 1hr and I see no progress
It depends on your internet connection but typically several hours since the repo is big.
Thank you, for the videos, very informative and of high quality.
P.S. Sometimes soundtrack is overwhelming and difficult to hear words (around 4:26)
Thanks for the feedback, we'll lower the soundtrack volume or do without it all together next time.
Out of curiosity. How many lines of code is in the unreal engine?
Just ran `git ls-files | xargs cat | wc -l` on a freshly built version of Unreal and got 45,342,402. However, this command aggregates all files, not just code. So if I filter by cpp files by running `git ls-files | grep .cpp | xargs cat | wc -l`, I get 13,627,783. However, I'm not taking into account header files, non c++ code, etc.. So the ballpark is somewhere in between these two numbers, most likely closer to the lower number. I'm sure you can run your own queries to get exactly what you want.
Quick explanation of the queries, `git ls-files` just gets all the files tracked by git in the repo, then the pipe character `|` feeds the output of the command to the left of it to the command to the right of it. `xargs` just feeds input as a variable list argument to the command immediately to the right which in this case is `cat`. We need to `cat` the files altogether because there are so many files in Unreal Engine. The `wc -l` command just counts the number of lines in the files. `grep .cpp` just looks for lines in the input that contain the characters ".cpp"
@@Flopperam Thank you for the reply. One can only imagine the insane amount of work that went into building this masterpiece engine. 13 million lines (of just .cpp) line is no joke. Coupled with the fact that there are loads of mathematics and complex algorithms that went into this. So it was not just lots of basic logic like CRUD applications. Damn!
i ran outta fingers and toes... so more than 18 for sure
Do I need to build the engine everytime I want to use it.
No, only the first time after downloading a version of Unreal from source or after updating Visual Studio.
@@Flopperam okay thanks
Can I download another branch instead of the release branch? For example the 4.26 branch. Or do I need to download first the release branch and then the 4.26?
Hey, sorry for the late response. So if you don't want to clone the entire repo and you just want a specific branch, you can add the --single-branch flag to the git clone command like so,
git clone github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git --branch branch_or_tag_name --single-branch
where branch_or_tag_name can be 4.26 or 4.26.2-release or whatever branch or tag you're interested in. Note that by doing this you won't be able to get other branches in the repo from your local copy without doing some other git commands. If you do want to be able to grab other remote branches from your local repo easily, then you can clone the entire repo and checkout a specific branch or tag like we did in the video, but in one git clone command like the one above without the --single-branch flag,
git clone github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git --branch branch_or_tag_name
@@Flopperam thank you so much!!!!
But You didnt chose the UE5 early access version did you?
I did not, I chose the 5.0 branch since that will closely resemble what the first official release of ue5 will be. Maybe before an official ue5 release comes out, Epic will release a preview tag that can be checked out instead.
When you said it'd take a while to compile I didn't expect 13 and a half hours
God! and i have to do it only because i need to modifye 2-3 lines of codes about the landscape.. this is dumb!
build in visual studio took 14 hours for me
this is the comment i needed to read. thought it was infinite loading lol.
Pulling ue5-main provides a solution to version 5.2 - compiles fine but not entirely stable of course. Been experimenting with it for 24 hours. Cloning 5.1 now, the time is near !!!
i ran into an issue with git: error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check) when checking for deltas. I searched for it but didn't found anything. Tried to clone it multiple times but always same issue, Have you any idea ? ^^' (I'm on Fedora 35)
Try running git clone --depth 1, this should limit the number of commits you're downloading. Not sure what's causing the error but there are so many commits in the repo across so many branches that could be causing issues that it's hard to pinpoint 1.
@@Flopperam will try this, thanks anyway :)
Hi, thank you for the tutorial! Could you explain how to build only Win64 rather than android, linux and other stuff? I want to keep engine size as small as possible. This would be really helpful. Thanks again!
Hey, when running Setup.bat you can add an exclude flag for each platform you want to ignore. For example,
./Setup.bat -exclude=Linux -exclude=IOS -exclude=Mac -exclude=Android -exclude=LinuxArm64 -exclude=TVOS
should exclude the dependencies for the specified platforms. Let me know how this works out for you because I haven't run this command myself but Unreal Engine 5 for me right now is huge so I understand why you're asking the question.
@@Flopperam Hey! Thank you for taking your time and answering! It actually worked, the download size become somewhere near to 10GB but when I was building the engine it failed. I guess it couldn't find some files for certain platforms. Is making changes in other files also required or this is unexpected problem?
Hmmm, what is the build error you're getting? Also, what branch and commit are you on, because if you're not on a release branch/tag then building can always be a gamble with an unstable version of Unreal.
After successful installation I tried to package a game and its giving me error of "windows SDK not setup properly" so I deleted the SDK from visual studio installer and installed a new SDK but still getting the same error, after research I was told to copy a file "hostfix" into "Engine/Binaries/Dotnet/automationtool" and after doing that i still experienced the same issue but then i noticed my "Engine/Binaries/Dotnet/automationtool" and "automationtool launcher" folder was empty with no dependencies in it so I deleted the engine because I though it was a problem from the downloading so I downloaded again and experienced same problem and downloaded again same issues, right now my engine works but no automation tool dependencies,
Am using ue5.0.3 release .
Was hoping if someone can copy their folder of automation tool folder and automationtool launcher folder under "Engine/binaries/dotnet/" and send to me or anyone with a solution regarding this issue.
Thanks
This was so helpful. Thank you!

I think the steps would still be the same, but I could be wrong. Are you experiencing any issues in particular?
@@Flopperam yes, i solved it by doing Right click in the map i want and use the bash thingy.
does this work on unreal engine 4 too?
Yes, the only thing to keep in mind is that at 9:12, in addition to those three workloads I recommend viewers to install with Visual Studio, make sure to also include the ".NET Framework 4.6.2 targeting pack" individual component with your Visual Studio installation since I've noticed some versions of Unreal Engine 4 use the .NET SDK version 4.6.2. And the only other thing is that at 7:28, you wouldn't checkout the 5.0 branch, but rather the branch or tag representing the version you're interested in, or don't checkout at all and stay on the release branch.
@@Flopperam k thanks for answering
