Houdini Linux Installation Research
Brief session focused on gathering installation guidance for SideFX Houdini on Linux. User requested installation to /mnt/work/ and provided the SideFX FAQ link. Fetched complete Linux installation instructions from official documentation.
Key findings: The installation process is interactive (requires sudo and component/licensing selection via installer GUI or terminal prompts). Installation tarball must be downloaded manually from sidefx.com (requires authentication). Default installation creates symlink at /opt/hfs21.0 with launcher at /opt/hfs/21.0/houdini_setup. Important: do not place installer file in /root to avoid permission errors.
No actual installation was performed during session. User introduced agent-browser skill at session end but did not execute it. Session duration: ~3 minutes.
