Not Enough Space

I recently downloaded Epic Games Launcher to play Fortnite; Epic Games Launcher downloaded and works, but it says that Fortnite does not have enough space to download. I have about 52 GB available, and Fortnite needs 34. I've tried downloading Fortnite into both my home and User/Shared directories, but neither work; I've also restarted my Mac multiple times.

Is there a way to allocate more space to one area so Fortnite can download? Is that even the problem?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2), 16GB RAM, 128GB Flash Storage
