Linux:

1. Open a terminal
2. Change to the root user if installing Houdini outside of your home directory
* If you are installing the License Server, you must install the software as the root user because the License Server files are written to /usr/lib/sesi.
* If you are not installing the License Server, the software can be installed as a non-root user
3. Unpack the downloaded archive
* tar.gz archive (type: tar -xvzf file.tar.gz)

Example:
tar -xvzf houdini-10.0.249-linux_x86_64_gcc4.1.tar.gz
This should create a directory called houdini-10.0.249-linux_x86_64_gcc4.1/
4. Run the houdini.install script:
* cd houdini-10.0.249-linux_x86_64_gcc4.1/
* ./houdini.install
* You can also double click on the houdini.install file with your mouse. It will run the installer in a terminal.
5. Follow the instructions in the installer. The default installation wants to place the software in /opt/hfs10.0.249. If installing as a non-root user, you must change this default installation path. Example: /home/janedoe/hfs10.0.249
6. You should now be able to access Houdini in 2 ways:
* Applications->Side Effects Software->Houdini 10.0.249
* In a terminal(shell) type:

cd ; (Example: cd /opt/hfs10.0.249)
source houdini_setup;
type houdini (or hescape to start Escape) at the command prompt

The command "source houdini_setup" initializes the current shell's environment to run Houdini. You may want to add the above line to your .login file. Refer to the contents of the houdini_setup script for more details.

Please see the Readme.txt that comes with the installed version of Houdini for more information .

To run Houdini on unix, you must first set up certain environment
variables, such as the path to the Houdini binaries. Type the
following:

source houdini_setup

This command initializes the current shell's environment to run
Houdini. You may want to add the above line to your .login file.
Refer to the contents of the houdini_setup script for more details.

To run Houdini under Windows, the easiest choice is to select the
appropriate application from the Houdini Start Menu. If you prefer
a command-line environment, you can start the Command Line Tool from
the Start Menu. This shell contains all the variables normally set
by the houdini_setup script. From this shell you can start bash or
tcsh, both of which are available for free with Cygwin (www.cygwin.com).

If you are an Apprentice (non-commerical user), Houdini will guide
you through the process of installing a non-commercial license
when it cannot find a license.

To start Houdini Master, type "houdini".
To start Houdini Escape, type "hescape".

If you are a commercial user, please change your license server
host or redeem your licenses using the Houdini License Administrator
before running houdini.

To start the License Administrator, type "hkey".

Please send any installation problems to support@sidefx.com.
