Okay, so that HOUDINI_PATH declaration is overwriting anything that the package file is doing.

You just need to add $HOUDINI_PATH; to the beginning of the HOUDINI_PATH declaration, similar to what's already being done with $PATH on the previous line.

Weird. Can you please try temporarily removing your houdini.env file and see if MOPs loads correctly?

I did what you asked. Unfortunately, there are no changes.

Okay.

From within Houdini, go to the Python shell (ALT+SHIFT+P) and enter the following, one at a time:

import os
print(os.getenv("HOUDINI_PATH"))

Then show me the result of this command.

Alternatively, if you'd like me to help you via video chat, please email me at henry@motionoperators.com and I'll send you a link.

So, I did the command you asked me to do and after doing that command, I tried to get a MOPs node in a geometry node. Without success. I didn't reboot my Houdini after doing the command. Should I have done that too?

The command is just to see what value is returned. I'm trying to make sure that the MOPs directory is actually being added to your HOUDINI_PATH. You don't need to restart... just hit enter after entering each of those commands, and show me what comes back.

Now that's interesting! See how it's adding "C:/Users/Henry/Projects/VFX/MOPS" to your HOUDINI_PATH? That means that the package file you saved isn't the one being read. Did you happen to copy that original package file anywhere else on your drive? Maybe somewhere in the Houdini installation directory? Can you double check that the JSON file that you placed in /houdini19.5/packages/ has the correct path for MOPS?
