# Setup

## Add yout GitHub account to Epic's GitHub organization

First off, [associate your GitHub username with your Unreal account](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/ue4-on-github) to get access to Unreal sources on GitHub.

## Set your python bin

This is where the Python extension is installed which enables communication between Unreal and Python.

### Option 1: Automatically set the python bin

Setup the [deepdrive](https://github.com/deepdrive/deepdrive) project which creates your `~/.deepdrive/python_bin`

### Option 2: Manually set the python bin

Create `~/.deepdrive/python_bin` on Unix or `%HOMEPATH%\.deepdrive\python_bin` on Windows and point it to the Python executable you want the deepdrive Python extension to be installed to, i.e.

```
/home/[YOU]/.local/share/virtualenvs/my-env/bin/python
```
