Create & Package a Linux Build

In this document, we will guide you through how to create and package a Linux build from Windows OS using Unreal Engine.

Prerequisite

Before following this guide, make sure you have completed the Linux Cross-Compile Toolchain setup.

Follow the steps below:

Launch Unreal Editor.

You can either create a new project or open an existing Unreal Engine project.

For this guide, we will use the Third Person Template as a demo project.

Go to the Plugins window in Unreal Engine.

Search for Pixel Streaming and enable the plugin.

After enabling the plugin, restart the Unreal Editor to apply the changes.

After restarting the editor, go to the top menu and select:

Platforms → Package Project → Linux

This will select Linux as the target platform for packaging.

Go to: Platforms → Package Project → Package Project

This will start the Linux packaging workflow.

Choose an empty folder where the packaged Linux build will be saved.

It is recommended to create a new folder specifically for the Linux build output.

Once packaging starts, Unreal Engine will begin creating the Linux build.

Click Show Output Log to view the packaging logs and monitor the progress.

Wait until the packaging process is complete.

If the build is successful, Unreal Engine will show a successful packaging message.

Go to the packaged build output folder.

Select all files and folders inside the packaged build directory, then compress them into a ZIP file.

This ZIP file will be used for uploading the Linux build.

For a complete visual walkthrough, you can watch the video tutorial below.
