# Traditional Unreal Setup

* Clone this repo
* Clone our [UnrealEnginePython fork](https://github.com/deepdrive/UnrealEnginePython) into the root of this project (not a submodule as we are going to make this a binary only)

```
cd Plugins
git clone https://github.com/deepdrive/UnrealEnginePython
```

* Tip: To avoid rebuilding UnrealEnginePython, move `Plugins/UnrealEnginePython` to your Engine plugins folder, i.e. `<your-unreal-dir>/Engine/Plugins/UnrealEnginePython/` after you've built the deepdrive-sim project with the plugin in `deepdrive-sim/Plugins`.

```
git clone git@github.com:EpicGames/UnrealEngine --branch 4.21
# or if you are using http: 
# git clone https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine --branch 4.21
```

`<your-unreal-dir>` is now populated with the Unreal Engine source.

## Build Unreal

*Takes an hour with 12 cores*

```
cd UnrealEngine
./Setup.sh && ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh && make
```

More details on building Unreal [here](https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Building_On_Linux), though the above commands should be sufficient.

## Get the substance plugin

Download the Substance plugin from [here](https://forum.allegorithmic.com/index.php/topic,26732.0.html) and unzip the `Plugins/Runtime/Substance` folder within it to `<your-unreal-dir>/Plugins/Runtime` for Unreal 4.21. For other releases, see [here](https://forum.allegorithmic.com/index.php/board,23.0.html) or you can just use the sources downloaded by Windows / Mac marketplace.

## Run the editor

```
./Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor
```

Finally open the deepdrive-sim uproject file within the editor.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://simdocs.deepdrive.io/v2-security-updates/docs/setup/linux/traditional-install.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
