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
** list remote branches with: git ls-remote https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git
** get source code with: git clone -b 4.24.1-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]
** If you get the error "The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2" were not found." just install it from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53321 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

PS Unreal Engine

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 log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ai %d" (to see all tags with dates)
  • git checkout 4.24.1-release --force
  • launch Setup.bat to update dependencies
  • launch GenerateProjectFiles.bat
  • Delete all files contained in PSUnreal\Intermediate
  • Clean the UE4 project from VS
  • Rebuild

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:

  • 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 4.24.1-release from dropdown
    • Under options only have "overwrite working tree changes (force)" selected
    • Press "ok" and allow it to update.
  • launch Setup.bat to update dependencies
  • launch GenerateProjectFiles.bat
  • Delete all files contained in PSUnreal\Intermediate
  • Clean the UE4 project from VS
  • Rebuild
