Installation (Prerequisites)

Setup Prerequisites

DeviceAuthGenerator

• Download and run DeviceAuthGenerator.exe, signing in and linking your Epic Games account when prompted.
• This will generate a file called device_auths.json (generated in the same directory where you ran DeviceAuthsGenerator.exe).
• Do not share this file or the contents of it with anyone (see blurred sensitive information in screenshot below).

• Once your device_auths.json file has been saved, you may close DeviceAuthGenerator.exe

If you are running V1.5.3 and before, the device_auths.json file should be moved to the same folder where claimer.js in. If you are running V1.5.4 and after, the device_auths.json file should be moved to the data folder.

Git

• Download and install Git, proceeding with default installation options in the Setup Wizard.

Node.js

• Download the Node.js setup (LTS or Current version), making note to check the box for installing build tools when running the setup (unchecked by default);

• After clicking Finish during the setup wizard, you will be presented with a "Install Additional Tools for Node.js" prompt (shown below). Do not close this window. It is recommended to close all other running programs before proceeding.

• Inside of the "Install Additional Tools for Node.js" prompt, press any key as instructed and wait for the Windows PowerShell script to finish running. This will take a while - completion is indicated by "Type ENTER to exit:" at the bottom of the PowerShell window, at which point you can close the window.
