- I followed the installation instructions by translating them into bash. It is necessary to have certain environment variables set for Gaussian to run (and on my system they didn't quite match the ones in the install instructions). They are GAUSSEXEDIR, GAUSSSCRDIR, and g09root.
- Oct 14, 2019 Gaussian 16 is the latest in the Gaussian series of programs. It provides state-of-the-art capabilities for electronic structure modeling. Gaussian 16 is licensed for a wide variety of computer systems.
- Gaussian 16 in other parts of the University. The University has site licences for Gaussian 09 for Linux and Mac, Gaussian 03 for Linux, Gaussview 5 for Linux and Mac, and Gaussview 6 for Linux and Mac. Instructions for users: On managed Linux machines load the gaussian16 module to access the software.
Install TeamViewer on the computer you're connecting from. Follow the steps for Windows or Mac to install the TeamViewer program on the computer you're currently using. The process is the same as if you were setting it up for a remote connection.

The following download links are password protected. Gaussian is available for no charge to Penn Chemistry researchers (click here for password request only if you are a Penn Chemistry researcher). The installation instructions are in a readme file and it is recommended that you have experience with Linux/UNIX to be able to install it. If you do not have such experience, you may access a pre-installed version of Gaussian 16 using a GPC WebMO account. All other Penn researchers (PennMed, SEAS, Nursing, Wharton, etc) can obtain Gaussian for $250 per user per version by contacting help@chem.upenn.edu. Non-Penn researchers should contact Gaussian.com for their own license.
