I followed https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/Android/GettingStarted/1/index.html
until I hit
$ ./CodeWorksforAndroid-1R6u1-linux-x64.run --keep

./Launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The version of libpng installed on Debian Stretch is 16
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng.so -> libpng16.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so -> libpng16.so.16.28.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16 -> libpng16.so.16.28.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16.28.0
To fix this I downloaded libpng12 from a Ubuntu xenial (16.04LTS) mirror and installed it
sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.46-3ubuntu4.2_amd64.deb
The Launcher program was then able to run and started downloading
It failed with
Installing Android NDK 12b failed.
Return Code: 2
exit status 1
Since I had added the --keep argument to the launcher I was able to look inside the linux-x64 directory.
In case it helps here are the contents of some files in that directory:
