dy Install Libs is a Houdini shelf toolset designed to make installing libraries smooth and simple. No manual edits, no broken installs.

• :installer: Library from JSON
  • Import a downloaded library using its JSON file—automatically copies and updates the package file in your library folder.
• :installer2: Install Library
  • Generate a new JSON package from scratch, tied to your library folder.
• :download: Library from GitHub
  • Clone and install libraries straight from a GitHub URL.
• :addassetdirectory: Create Library
  • Build a library scaffold with templates and auto-generate the package file.
• :reload: Restart Houdini
  • Reload everything easily with one click.

This may not work for installing render engines, as they typically need a custom .json package file to set up environment variables and paths.
