Hello,

Just wondering exactly what is meant by "Add the ./houdini folder to the HOUDINI_PATH environment variable.".

Do you mean copy and paste the "nvidia-warp-houdini-main\houdini" in you're houdinig project's directory, or are we meant to alter our houdini.env file with the path of nvidia-warp-houdini-main\houdini on our system?

Hi @wyhinton!

There are a few ways to go about this but maybe the easiest would be to place that folder in one of the default paths defined in HOUDINI_PATH. To know which ones they are, you can try printing the following in a Python shell within Houdini: import hou; print(hou.getenv("HOUDINI_PATH")).

The houdini.env file is indeed another way to go about it if you prefer keeping the warp's folder in another location.
