J.Santos Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi guys, Sorry for this very basic question but I'm baffled! I'm using Linux Mint 13 and Houdini 12.1.25 (or 125?) and I cannot find in the menu (Start menu) the Houdini shell. I seem to remember that in the past it was there. So, where do I need to go now to access it? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil78 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hey - im using Mint and im a newbie - but the houdini shell for windows was created for windows because you dont use the shell at all in windows - in linux you do this (becuase linux is all abotu using the shell) Open up a terminal cd to your install directory - im my case: cd /opt/hfs12.1.185 Then source houdini_setup Thats it - your houdini shell is live - its all in the help files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Santos Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks! I'll try that when I get home! I read it in the help files but somehow convinced myself that that was just for setting the environment... duh! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nando Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 You dont have to do this each and everytime, when you want to run Houdini, You can auto mate it open up terminal type gedit .bashrc that should bring up ur login shell add this lines to ur .bash file pushd /usr/hfs####.#### (ur version of h12) source houdini_setup popd That should do it every time you launch the terminal, ur environment is initialised.

J.Santos Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi Jose, Thanks a lot for the answer. I'll include it on my .bashrc file, no doubt. See ya, Joaquim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
