How to install the Cryengine SDK?

Support was recently announced for complete Linux support for Cryengine. When coupled with the recent announcement of their "pay what you want" model, I think that this would be a very attractive offer for many out there. However, I cannot work out how to go about installing this on my Ubuntu 15.10 system.

Any advice would be helpful!

1. Download Cryengine. (requires membership)

2. Install required dependencies.

   $ sudo apt-get install build-essential python python-tk

3. Change into the Cryengine directory and run the WAF build system.

   $ cd ~/Downloads/cryengine-3.8.6

   $ ./cry_waf.sh build_linux_x64_gcc_debug --project-spec=gamesdk_and_tools

4. Wait a while...
5. Finished! You should see binaries in the BinLinux64gcc directory.

Cryengine does not support the open source drivers, therefore you need to make sure that you have the proprietary drivers installed.

Download from

you should be downloading it after the 3rd cmd.

hope it solved.
