HOW to Install? ( LW User)

[juanjgon]

The main problem can be that all the paths should be declared in the same variable, at least for the HOUDINI_PATH variable, so you could try something like that:

Code: Select all

HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2

MOPS = "C:/Users/X99 STRIX/Documents/MOPS;&"

PATH = "$APPDATA\SideFX\GameDevToolset\17.5\1.172\bin;C:\Otoy\Octane_2018.1.3.0_Houdini_17.5.258_Win64\bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "$MOPS;$APPDATA\SideFX\GameDevToolset\17.5\1.172;C:\Otoy\Octane_2018.1.3.0_Houdini_17.5.258_Win64;&"

Thank you Juanjo!

You did it! I had no idea that all paths should be declared in the same variable.

Cheers,

Hi Juanjo,

Also having an installing issue here.

I suspect the path of my .env is correct, since I see an octane shelf in Houdini.

The issue might be with versions. I just installed Houdini 17.5.327
This is the octane plugin I got installed

I get this message when opening Houdini

Thanks in advance for your help.

What is your houdini.env file?

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick response.
Please look below:

Code: Select all

HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
PATH = "C:/Users/MyUser/Documents/Houdini_17.5/bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Users/MyUser/Documents/Houdini_17.5;&"

Hmm, but what plugin build are you trying to use with this latest Houdini production build? Inside the .zip file, there are plugin builds for several Houdini versions. You should try to use the plugin build for the latest Houdini version available, but if it doesn't work, I'm afraid that you are going to need to install the proper Houdini version for it.

Thanks,
-Juanjo

Oh, I see.
I installed the 17.5.229 plugin and I'm running Houdini 17.5.327

Thanks for your help.
