Installation Notes

Unpack the tar/gzip file in a working directory and open the csound_demo.hip file with Houdini, version 8.0.
To ensure that all of the custom components, toolbars, icons, and DSO/DLL files will load correctly, be sure to set the $HOUDINI_PATH variable in a fashion similar to:

setenv HOUDINI_PATH $HFS/houdini:$HOME/houdini:$JOB/houdini:./houdini

Troubleshooting tips:
From the Houdini textport, type "dsoinfo -h " and look for the csound_score DSO/DLL under the CHOP section.


/ -> dsoinfo -h
