To get started with the Houdini HDK I recommend reading the official documentation here:
http://www.sidefx.com/docs/hdk15.0
On OS X at least it's not obvious where the Houdini installer put the files you need to get started. One way of finding out about this is to open a Houdini Terminal like this:
This should setup your environment so you can find e.g. hcustom and the Houdini environment variables (starting with H) should be there. For example the Houdini Toolkit is accessible by $HT and the first example could be found by typing the following into the Houdini Terminal:
cd $HT/samples/standalone
