dy Install Libs is a Houdini shelf toolset designed to make installing libraries smooth and simple. No manual edits, no broken installs.
What’s Inside:
- Library from JSON: Import a downloaded library using its JSON file—automatically copies and updates the package file in your library folder.
- Install Library: Generate a new JSON package from scratch, tied to your library folder.
- Library from GitHub: Clone and install libraries straight from a GitHub URL.
- Create Library: Build a library scaffold with templates and auto-generate the package file.
- Restart Houdini: Reload everything easily with one click.
You can get it here: Gumroad [cdordelly.gumroad.com]
Check the Product Website [cdordelly.notion.site]
This may not work for installing render engines, as they typically need a custom .json package file to set up environment variables and paths.
✅ Why You'll Love It:
- Save time – eliminate manual file edits and avoid broken setups.
- Stay organized – manage local and GitHub libraries seamlessly.
🌟 Get It Free!
Download this tool at no cost. If this product makes your work easier, your support is greatly appreciated ♥

Wow, thanks so much for the videos.
I would really appreciate it if you could create a video on setting up network rendering.
I can never get it to work.
Maybe a deadline version too.
Glad that you like the videos, I'm planning to record a Deadline installation video, maybe for next month

The next ones will be related to how to install HDAs and libraries.
Cheers!

Hey guys!
I've seen multiple artists who want to learn Houdini but struggle with the program and license installation. That's why I created these two videos to help users jump into Houdini
I hope you like it and stay tuned for the libraries installation videos soon 😄

Hi @zakkatara!
Did you find a good solution for this? I'm in a similar place where I'm having some problems running Exoside Quad Remesher with TOPs.
Let me know,
Thanks!

Congrats to everyone who participated, amazing work all around!
I’m happy to have joined another round of Mardini. It was a great chance to keep exploring different areas of Houdini. Copernicus was the standout for me this year, can’t wait to see how it keeps evolving.
Big thanks to SideFX, the jury, and the GSG team for sponsoring the challenge 🙌
I streamed a few lives at the beginning, so if you’re curious about how I made some of the entries, you can check out my YouTube channel. I’m also planning to do quick overviews of the remaining pieces… once I catch up on some sleep 🤣
Here’s my animated and still spreadsheet, hope you like it. Cheers!
