Cannot download or compile on Linux

[Xyphis0]

Unfortunately it seems that despite being listed as Linux compatible on the Unreal Marketplace there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get this to install on a Linux system.

UE5's native Linux build skips the Unreal Launcher, as there isn't a native version of the Unreal Launcher for Linux and it can only be run using WINE, so there isn't any way to automatically download and install plugins or other marketplace content.

Attempting to install it through the Unreal Launcher using WINE predictably just gives me a Windows version of the plugin.

The build tools for the plugin also only support Windows cross compile (For Windows and Linux) or Mac, so there's no option to build on Linux for Linux.

Would it be possible to upload the compiled plugin for Linux somewhere? This seems like maybe the simplest solution to the problem.

This problem exists for all plugins on the marketplace since they only precompile for Windows and Mac.

It would actually be easier for you to compile the plugin yourself as you're going to need to do this for every plugin. I have a guide on how to do this: https://wiki.incanta.games/en/plugins/install-as-project-plugin

The 'build.sh' script in the repository is a dev tool for me, and not for use by you. You should be following that guide on standard compilation.
