Hi everyone,

Just got the Indie version of my 16.5.405 Houdini and downloaded the trail version of the lastest Renderman 21.6. I'm using MacOS High Sierra 10.13.3.

The problem is that when I hit render, it gives me the error that prman is not found: "sh: line 0: exec: prman: not found". I have tried to add the path to the bin folder of Renderman in houdini.env, but there is no such a file at the Houdini directory. Can you guys just tell me what I do wrong and help me, or if there is some other way to set this path inside Houdini. I don't have problem to do this manually, every time, if there is such a way.

P.S. I don't have a lot of experience with MacOS, so I guess that I'm doing something stupid. If so, sorry in advance.

Thanks,
Dimitar

Your Houdini enviromental variables file is under ~/Preferences/Houdini/16.5 by default. You'll need to open it in a text editor and add the file paths to RM.

See this article:

And there is a helpful discussion in the Renderman for Houdini forum too.
