⚒️Download the editor

Downloading our editor to create your own Unreal levels for world launching

System Requirements: Currently, we only support Windows 10 or 11 operating systems.

Prerequisites

If you haven't installed Unreal before, you might need the VC Runtime.

You need to have been given Developer access to your metaverse dashboard.

To find your metaverse dashboard, see Dashboard

Steps

From your metaverse dashboard, click the ⬇ Download Editor button.

In the modal that appears, first click the ⬇ Install the M² Launcher button.

M² Launcher is our thin, desktop app that manages Unreal editor & client downloads. Its main use is caching so that subsequent downloads of apps can happen a lot faster.

To change the editor download location (e.g. drive) - see the M2 Launcher page.

After installing the launcher, click the bigger ⬇ Download editor button.

The launcher should automatically appear and start the editor download.

Once the download finishes, it should automatically open the Unreal Engine project modal.

If it doesn't, you can click the ⬇ Download editor button in the dashboard again, and now the launcher will immediately open Unreal.

To create a new project:

Click the MSquared tab
Configure the Project Location and Project Name as you like
Click the Create button

For further details on how to use the template project, see Using the template project

Alternatively, you may want to open an existing project with this editor.

In future, you can open your project just by clicking the uproject file in your project folder. You should only need to use the download path when if you need to update the editor version you're using. More on that later.
