Hey!
I'm trying to update my hqueue server. Unfortunately the hqueue server install option on linux is gone. (see the attached pic)
Where do I find the installation option now?
Best,
Andreas
where is the hqueue server install option?

I just got the update to version 19 working
https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/hqueue/gettingstarted.html#scripted-installationson [www.sidefx.com]
This was a good reference to get it done.
Some background information about the running setup before v19:
Debian Stretch without desktop environment, already running HQueue 18.5, all paths kept default. After a bit of tinkering the procedure was kind of straight forward:
(logged in as root, all files are stored in /root/ if not specified differently)
Download/upload the install_houdini_launcher.sh to your box and execute it
install the missing dependencies to get the houdini_installer working
Pick the editor of your choice and create a settings file with the necessary information, i chose ~/.launcher_settings.ini as a destination for it
Execute the installer and you should be rewarded with the message "Preparing to install"
Sadly the authentication with the API keys didn't work, the installer just quit with the following error:
With the normal credentials it worked just fine, but would be way better to just use the API instead.
