A simple way to make the Epic Games Launcher run on Linux. This may work on other operating system genres (like Mac OS, Windows) but it isn't needed.
- Click the "Code" button.
- "Download as ZIP"
- Unzip the file and keep the folder where it is.
- Open a terminal at the location where you extracted the zip into a folder.
- Copy in and execute:
chmod +x ./EpicGamesLauncherOnLinux/epicgames; cd EpicGamesLauncherOnLinux; source ./epicgames
- The line above will dump some installation information. If it ever prompts you, enter your sudo password for your machine.
You have finished the tutorial. A control panel will launch at any moment and the EpicGames Launcher will open.
