## Quick Start
### 1. Install (once)
### 1. Clone & Install (once)
```bash
cd houdini && python3 install.py
git clone https://git.niklashmotion.art/Hermes/hermes-houdini-bridge.git
cd hermes-houdini-bridge
bash install.sh
```
Or manually: copy `hermes_bridge_panel.py` to `~/houdini21.0/scripts/python/`.
`install.sh` generates a Houdini package descriptor in `~/houdini21.0/packages/`. No manual file copying needed.
### 2. Open the Panel (every session)
In Houdini Python Shell (`Alt+Shift+P`):
```python
exec(open(hou.homeHoudiniDirectory() + '/scripts/python/hermes_bridge_panel.py').read())
show()
```
**Restart Houdini**, then: **Windows → Hermes Bridge**
The panel lets you:
- Choose a port number
- Open/Close the bridge with one click
- Copy a ready-to-use prompt: *"Hey Hermes, I have a Houdini session running on [hostname] (port 12345)"*
### 3. Use from Hermes
### 3. Update
```bash
cd hermes-houdini-bridge && git pull
```
### 4. Uninstall

rm ~/houdini21.0/packages/hermes_houdini_bridge.json
