Downloading Unreal

Before getting started, make sure that you have at least 18 GB of free disk space on your computer. You will need this disk space to hold the development environments for Unreal and also your project files.

We will now need to download Unreal. To do this, go to https://www.unrealengine.com and click on the GET UNREAL button.

Before you can download Unreal, you'll need to make an Epic Games account. The GET UNREAL button will redirect you to an account creation form, so fill it out and submit it.

After you've signed in, you'll see the Download button. This will download the installer for the Epic Games Launcher (from this launcher, you can download Unreal version 4.7.6 or above, and launch the Unreal game engine).
