Installation

Houdini 17.5+

Packages are the modern and convenient way to install third party Houdini addons!

• Download and expand the archive to somewhere on your drive
• Move "keytar.json" into a houdini packages directoy (eg "~/houdini18.0/packages/" - if your Hou pref dir doesn't have a "packages" folder, you can create it) and edit the file to point to your keytar folder on disk

Houdini 17 and older

Lucky you! You get to modify your houdini.env file!

• Download and expand the archive to somewhere convenient on your drive
• Edit your houdini.env file (eg "~/houdini18.0/houdini.env") to add the keytar path to the HOUDINI_PATH variable.

For example:

KEYTAR="/path/to/hou-keytar/keytar"
HOUDINI_PATH=$HOUDINI_PATH;$KEYTAR;&

Always end the HOUDINI_PATH variable with an "&" - this ensures all the actual Houdini files get loaded.

Linux and Mac should use ":" as an envar seperator, windows should use ";".
