How to install Houdini on Arch based systems
It is a little bit weird, but You need only a few extra steps
Step #1
On Arch besed systems You don't have "init.d" folder but The houdini installer needs it. Without this folder You can't install Houdini License Server. If you already have skip this step!
​
$ sudo mkdir /etc/init.d/
Step #2
Now You can install Houdini normally
​
Step #3
Delete the folder You created :D don't need it anymore
​
$ sudo rm -R /etc/init.d/
Step #4/a
Make a service to permanently run the License server. Now the bash script.
$ sudo nano /usr/local/sbin/sesi.sh
Step #4/b
Copy this line into and save
/usr/lib/sesi/sesinetd.startup start
Step #4/c
Make it executable
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/sesi.sh
Step #4/d
Create the service
$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/sesinetd.service
Step #4/e
Copy this into the sesinetd.ervice
