- this will create a "Unreal Engine" directory as child of the dir where you run the command
- Step 4: Install Visual Studio 2017
- Step 5: Run Setup.bat to download binary files
- Step 6: Run GenerateProjectFiles.bat to make project files
- if it complains about windows 8.1 sdk, just install it from here

PS Unreal Engine
Put here the notes of our architecture for Unreal.
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 4.18.3-release
- launch Setup.bat to update dependencies
- launch GenerateProjectFiles.bat
- Clean the UE4 project from VS
- Rebuild
