Package Installation Location

HoloOcean packages are by default saved in the current user profile, depending on the platform.

Platform

Location

Linux

~/.local/share/holoocean/{holoocean_version}/worlds/

Windows

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\holoocean\{holoocean_version}\worlds

Note that the packages are saved in different subfolders based on the version of HoloOcean. This allows multiple versions of HoloOcean to coexist, without causing version incompatibility conflicts.

This is the path returned by holoocean.util.get_holoocean_path()

Each folder inside the worlds folder is considered a seperate package, so it must match the format of the archive described in Package Contents.

Overriding Location

The environment variable HOLODECKPATH can be set to override the default location given above.

Caution

If HOLODECKPATH is used, it will override this version partitioning, so ensure that HOLODECKPATH only points to packages that are compatible with your version of Holodeck.
