UE5 is out and I captured a video of my first install. I took that footage and made a visual tutorial on how to make a custom install build of UE5. Custom Install Builds (or Editor Drops as I call them) are a great way to save space and make working with the engine that much easier on single developers or an indie dev team. Check it out. Be sure to follow me on Twitter @JoeWilcoxDev!
Here are some links mentioned in the build:
