To get up and running with the Epic Online Services (EOS) SDK, you'll need to set up a developer account, and download the SDK. Epic Games also provides a small project to show how EOS can fit into your game.
Setting up an Account
The Developer Portal contains setup information about your products and provides the means to administer your integrated services. Each product has a ProductId, SandboxId, and DeploymentId. The EOS SDK uses these to identify your product with the backend services. For more information about how to utilize product management tools when setting up an account, please see Product, Sandbox, and Deployment IDs.
Downloading the SDK
Once you have set up your organization and products, you can download the SDK on the developer portal. The SDK grants you access to EOS' backend features and services, such as metrics collection and user authentication. Inside the distribution archive, you will find the following directories:
