Hi!
We would like to install the license server under Rocky Linux 8. The existing server has no desktop environment (headless) and no Qt components installed. I am currently trying to install the server with ‘houdini_launcher’ and then administer it with ‘sesictrl’. Is there a text-only installer or something similar? Or is a GUI mandatory for the installation?
Best regards,
Martin

You should be able to invoke the Houdini Launcher without a GUI environment: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/ref/utils/launcher.html [www.sidefx.com]
Can you tell us exactly which command is failing?

I have now installed the license server via the "./sesinetd.install" script inside the offline installer. Everything seems to work but sesctrl commands only work partially.
The following commands, for example, do not work:
