The overall process begins by installing Unreal Engine and building from source, then follows through the PSUnreal setup page.

Install Unreal Engine from sources on windows

A reasonably simple guide: http://www.hybridsyntax.com/en/blog/building-unreal-engine-4-on-windows.html

High level steps:

  • Step 1: Register an account at UnrealEngine and GitHub
  • Step 2: Add your GitHub username to in your UnrealEngine profile under your dashboard
  • Step 3: Download the source code from UE4 Repo
  • Step 4: Install Visual Studio 2017, follow these instructions to get the right components in your Visual Studio
  • Step 5: Run Setup.bat to download and install the prerequisites
  • Step 6: Run GenerateProjectFiles.bat to make project files
    • if it complains about windows 8.1 sdk, just install it from here
  • Step 7: If you dont have it yet, you need to make an account to login to Visual Studio.
  • Step 8: Launch Visual Studio, open UE4.sln and Build Unreal Engine 4 with Development Editor configuration and Win64 Platform
  • Step 9: Copy F:\UnrealEngine\Engine\Source\ThirdParty\zlib\v1.2.8\lib\Win64\VS2015\zlib.dll to F:\Unreal Projects\MyProject2\PSUnreal\Binaries\Win64
  • Step 10: Run the UE4Editor.exe from Engine\Binaries\Win64\ subdirectory

Put here the notes of our architecture for Unreal.

PSUECharacter setup

Update Unreal Engine and Git commands

If you messed up your repository, try: git reset --hard

If you miss files try : git checkout .

To update to a newer UE version:

  • git fetch
  • git reset --hard (to discard local changes in case you have)
  • git tag --list (to list all available new tags)
  • git checkout 4.22.1-release
  • launch Setup.bat to update dependencies
  • launch GenerateProjectFiles.bat
  • Clean the UE4 project from VS
  • Rebuild
