Is there any information about how to get Octane in LOPs?

I may just be missing the camera options, but does this build have the new camera now?

I've tried installing as I normally do a few times and keep getting this error: https://i.imgur.com/gILNvKn.png. It was fine on the previous 2020.1.0.6 build.
