No houdini.env file to install Octane plugin

I've installed Houdini Indie 15.5 on osx 10.11 and can't find the houdini.env file in my /Library/Preferences folder anywhere. It doesn't appear to be anywhere on my computer. Houdini Indie runs fine though.

Please advise me on how to install the Octane plugin.

Thank you

Hello,

On osX it is in user(your user name)/library/preferences/houdini/15.5(and/or all your houdini versions)

Not in the "general" library of the system accessible directly on the system hd.

Cheers

Thank you Pasto, it appears my Users/Library folder was hidden. Once I made it visible I could see the houdini.env file.

Unfortunately now my Houdini Indie crashes on launch with this error;

ERROR: Couldn't open "FUSE_ColorOptions.ui" for reading: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

RESOLVED

I had a space at the end of my path inbetween ";" and "&"

Removed that and it's now working.
