Can I copy UE4 to another system without a full download?

Today I wanted to put UE4 onto my MacBook Pro, so I figured I’ll copy the launcher from /Applications and all the downloaded content from /Users/Shared/UnrealEngine and ~/Documents/Unreal* folders on the desktop to the MBP to appropriate places.

Tough luck.

Upon starting the Launcher I got prompted to download 10GB+ of stuff, AGAIN.

For the love of life, please make it so that we can just copy the pre-installed files to our other computers. Why is this even being an issue I do not understand when all the paths are relative in the .ini files?!

Hi Amigo,

Here is a link to a similar problem that may help you address your own. Running launcher with a copy of unrealengine folder makes you download everything all over again - Getting Started & Setup - Epic Developer Community Forums. Thank you and have a great day!
