'Is there an alternative to "Arnold" for Houdini Apprentice?

I've been working in Houdini Apprentice, trying to learn about FLIP tanks, but the tutorial I'm using explains the shader texturing of particles by using "Arnold shader network". As I looked further into it, I saw that Arnold is not included in Houdini Apprentice. Is there an alternative to particle shaders for Houdini that I could look in to?

You're gonna need to use Mantra or Karma (depending on your Houdini version) as Houdini Apprentice doesn't allow any 3rd party renderer (such as Arnold).

Here's the difference between the different Houdini licences: https://www.sidefx.com/products/compare/
