To download and install UET:

1. Download the latest release of UET for your platform
2. Optionally, run .\uet upgrade or ./uet upgrade to install UET globally on your computer.

After you've installed UET, you can build your Unreal Engine project by navigating to the directory which contains it, and then running:

uet build

The examples on this website use Windows-style paths (such as C:\Path\To\Directory) to illustrate arguments that take a path to a directory or file. These commands work with macOS as well, in which case you should provide macOS-style paths (such as /Path/To/Directory).
