Cant get the houdini engine working on LInux

Hi Ive copied the whole houdini engine plugin folder (from github) into the UE5 engine/plugins/runtime directory, but it just crashes Unreal Editor 5.1. with the common error, cant find module “HoudiniEngine”

As soon as I remove the folder, Unreal works again but obviously I dont have the houdini engine… Im using popOS if that help. Any help will be great!
