# Overview
This is a brief tutorial to help users who want to install the Allegorithmic Plug-In for Unreal Engine 4 to allow them to use Substance in UE4. These instructions have been tested and are working as of March 5th 2015 and on versions 4.7.0 + of the Unreal Engine and with Plug-in Version 4.7.0.5. For earlier versions, these instructions may work but have NOT been tested, please see the forums listed below for precise instructions with earlier versions.

These instructions assume you want to get the most current version of the Plug-In from a Source Location with the Engine Source.
Find the Version of the Plug-In which works with the Engine Version you are using. Normally there is an updated plug-in version for each Full version of the engine and are denoted by the Engine Version number followed by an iteration number (4.7.0.5). Follow the Source Link.
