How can I spread my texture evenly across a cylinder in Unreal Engine 4?

Specifically, in the image below, I would like have texture on cylinder (on the left) match the one on the box (on the right). I need a many sides because I want the cylinder to be very smooth.

generally the texture needs to match the UV you created for it, but if you have a generic object (which looks like is your case) the best bet is to use triplanar material projection, in short is a 3d mapping of a texture, rather than a 2d mapping.
