For example on Linux, one would edit this file in: $HOME/houdini16houdini18.50/houdini.env:

Code Block
RMANTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-2223.53
RFHTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManForHoudini-22.523.3
RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=$RFHTREE/18.0/openvdb:&
HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE/1618.50:&

On Windows with 1718.0, one would edit the file in: \Users\myself\Documents\houdini17houdini18.0\houdini.env:

NOTE: Windows uses a semi-colon instead of a colon to separate the HOUDINI_PATH!

Code Block
RMANTREE="C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManProServer-2223.5"3
RFHTREE="C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManForHoudini-22.5"23.3
RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=$RFHTREE\18.0\openvdb;&
HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE\1718.0;&
PATH=$RMANTREE\bin;&

Finally an example on OS-X with 1718.50, one would edit this in: /Users/myself/Library/Preferences/houdini/1718.50/houdini.env:

Code Block
RMANTREE=/Applications/Pixar/RenderManProServer-2223.53
RFHTREE=/Applications/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-22.523.3
RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=$RFHTREE/18.0/openvdb:&
