I’m trying to setup the source version of Unreal on Mac

Here is the output I’m getting when running setup.command:

Any idea on how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Trying to install UE4 source? You are supposed to run Setup.bat

I’m trying to setup on Mac, not PC. I edited the question to make this clearer.

I’m having the same issue, Any news?

We moved to a different machine and it works. Not sure if it was a setup issue or hardware incompatibility.

Ok this issue seems to be happening because the Services folder does not exist under the Library directory. Basically there is no such folder “/Users/admin/Library/Services/”. Create the Services folder and make sure all the cases match and run GenerateProjectFiles.command or setup.command whichever is failing for you and it should work after that.

edit: I know this issue is from a while ago but i just wanted to post the answer here incase anyone else runs into this problem
