SideFX Labs

[NumseKanalen]

I'm having trouble accessing the sideFX Labs toolset. This is a new problem in 19.5.
Launcher can't be found, and when installing manually, it can't find Houdini and doesn't add the tools correctly.

The documentation concerning Houdini on steam is at best poor.
I'll keep trying to add the tools manually.

Sorry to hear you're having problems with SideFX Labs on Steam. Are you using Windows or Mac?

I just did the following and got the Labs tools to show up:
-Install the SideFX Labs 19.5.493 package through the Houdini Launcher (found under Labs/Packages tab)
-Right click on the Labs package in the Launcher and select Details
-Go to that directory location and copy "SideFXLabs19.5" folder and "SideFXLabs19.5.json"
-Paste those into your Steam directory (Drive:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Houdini Indie\packages)
-Restart Houdini Indie on Steam and go to the SideFX Labs shelf to see if the tools are there

I'm having the same issue, I can't start the launcher so the rest of the procedure is not available to me.

Solved with the manual installation of LABS, I downloaded the main branch from github.
