Here are the steps (you will need root access for the installation):
1. Create a folder called "gaussian" on the desktop & create three folders inside it namely: input, output, scratch
2. Extract the gaussian tar file inside the gaussian folder created above using the command: tar -zxvf
3. Run the terminal & enter the following commands:
sudo -i
groupadd gaussian
usermod
chown :gaussian -R /home//Desktop/gaussian
chmod -R 770 /home//Desktop/gaussian
ls -ld /home//Desktop/gaussian
ls -l /home//Desktop/gaussian
cd /home//Desktop/gaussian/g16/bsd
apt install
exit
nano .bashrc
#in the opened file, copy the following:
export g16root=/home//Desktop/gaussian
. $g16root/g16/bsd/g16.profile
export GAUSS_SCRDIR=/home//Desktop/gaussian/scratch
CTRL+O
ENTER
CTRL+X
source .bashrc
INSTALLATION COMPLETE
Now you can run a gaussian job using the terminal by running the following command: g16

How long does it normally need to enter the Gaussian system? Mine has been running for about 30 mins and nothing happens. Thank you.
