It’s hard for me to tell what has gone wrong on your side.

But, I can explain how it works for you.

  1. Once you have your bundle configured. e.g. having addons, dependency package and launcher… you may use AYON’s bootstrap to get started.
  2. On starting the launcher, it downloads your addons from the server.
  3. On Launching Houdini from the Launcher, the following steps will occur:
    • Houdini addon startup folder will be added to HOUDINI_PATH
    • In that startup folder,
      • we have added pythonrc.py scripts that will install the AYON Houdini Host. where you’ll be able to do import ayon_houdini
      • we have MainMenuCommon.xml that adds AYON menu to your Houdini.

Once you get familiar with you can learn about other things that happen when installing AYON host into your DCC. e.g. registered callbacks and going through what happens inside the install method.
