Hi,
The GameDevToolset also works on Linux.
If the updater fails for you, you can try the manual installation process described on the github:
Download the toolset and unzip them in your houdini home folder.
On Linux, that folder should be:
~/houdini16.5
What is the error that you get from the updater?
Here is the message that is prompted when using the Update Toolset button under Linux:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “update_toolset”, line 178, in <module>
File “update_toolset”, line 24, in __init__

AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘_create_default_https_context’

This is without installing the Toolset prior.
In Windows i remember you could update or even install the Toolset via this new Button.
After unzipping the folder in the houdini16.5 folder unfotunately it still does not work. Still only shows the Installer button, but then the same message pops up!
Thank you for your help - hopefully we can get it to work! Really great tools!
P.S.: It is probably me though - i am really new Linux so i might be missing something very obvious!
