Requirements for Linux Containers
You can build and run the Wine-enabled container images for Unreal Engine on Windows, macOS, or Linux. To build or run the container images, your computer will need to meet the following hardware requirements:
- A 64-bit CPU with support for Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
- Hardware virtualization support enabled in the system BIOS.
- Minimum of 4 GB of system RAM.
Your computer will also need to meet the following software requirements:
- Windows: A 64-bit Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, or Education, version 1903 or newer with Docker Desktop for Windows installed. See the Installing Docker section below for instructions on how to install Docker Desktop for Windows.
- macOS: macOS version 10.14 or newer with Docker Desktop for Mac installed. See the Installing Docker section below for instructions on how to install Docker Desktop for Mac.
- Linux: A 64-bit version of CentOS 8 or newer, Debian 10 or newer, Fedora 32 or newer, Ubuntu 16.04 or newer, or any Linux distribution that meets Docker's prerequisites with Docker Engine installed. See the Installing Docker section below for instructions on how to install Docker Engine.
