How can I install Houdini Engine for 3ds Max using Steam Houdini Indie version?

I've been trying to figure out how to install Houdini Engine for 3ds Max, and couldn't find any solution since the plug-in comes integrated to the Houdini installer.

Thanks for the question, you can install the Houdini Engine plugin for 3ds Max directly within Houdini. Follow these steps:

-Launch Houdini Indie on Steam
-Go to the Houdini Engine shelf (add the Houdini Engine shelf with + button if needed)
-Go to the Plugin Installer tool
-For Plugin, select 3dsMax
-For Version, select your version of 3ds Max
-Make sure the paths are correct
-Click the Install button
-Use the Restart Houdini as Admin button if needed
