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
[[Errors in Database connection]]
* Step 2:  Add your GitHub username to in your UnrealEngine profile under your dashboard
* Step 3:  Download the source code from UE4 Repo
** list remote branches with: git ls-remote https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git
** get source code with: git clone -b 4.20.3-release https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git
** this will create a "Unreal Engine" directory as child of the dir where you run the command
* Step 4:  Install Visual Studio 2017, follow [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Programming/Development/VisualStudioSetup#optionsforanewvisualstudioinstallation 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 [https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-8-1-sdk 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 checkout 5.1.1-release --force
  • (OPTIONAL to check if you have the right version now) git status
  • (OPTIONAL if things go bad) Delete all files contained in UnrealEngine\Intermediate AND PSUnreal\Intermediate
  • launch Setup.bat to update dependencies
  • launch GenerateProjectFiles.bat
  • COPY the files under PSUnreal\UESource in UnrealEngine main dir
  • Clean the UE4 project from VS
  • Rebuild UE from VS


To see tags:

  • git tag --list (to list all available new tags)
  • git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ai %d" (to see all tags with dates)


If you get an error for the new authentication token: "Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead."

See: https://magecomp.com/blog/generate-personal-access-token-github/

and use this for the last line: git remote set-url origin https://<token>@github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git/

Advanced Locomotion System (ALS_CPP v4)

ALS for UE5.4

ALS Idle Animations

Alternative Update Unreal Engine using Tortoise Git GUI

Get TortoiseGit here.

To update to a newer UE version, In windows explorer right click on folder containing Unreal engine then:

  • Delete all files contained in PSUnreal\Intermediate and UnrealEngine\Engine\Intermediate
  • select > TortoiseGit > fetch. (make sure in window that opens "tags" is selected under options
  • TortoiseGit > revert (to discard local changes in case you have)
  • TortoiseGit > switch/checkout
    • Then select tag and choose 5.1.1-release from dropdown
    • Under options only have "overwrite working tree changes (force)" selected
    • Press "ok" and allow it to update.
  • Copy files in PSUnreal\UESource > to the appropriate folder in UnrealEngine\Engine\Source.
  • launch Setup.bat to update dependencies
  • launch GenerateProjectFiles.bat
  • Clean the UE4 project from VS
  • Rebuild

Unreal Engine 5

1) Tried minimal clone as the full one was failing continuously. This will create a subdirectory called 5.4.3-release

git clone https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git --depth=1 --single-branch 5.4.3-release

2) Setup.bat (or .sh or .command)

3) GenerateProjectFiles.bat ( or .sh or .command)

3) From VS 2022, it required install of Net framework 3.1, done.

4) open UE5.sln and Build Unreal Engine 5 with Development Editor configuration and Win64 Platform
