Getting started with Computational Chemistry
A great way to get started is to do some small calculations on a desktop, this will get you familar with gaussian and gaussview
Then you will want to move onto an high performance computing environment
Computational chemistry often requires significant computational power so it is important for you to become familar with a high performance computing environment. You will need an account on Raapoi
The hpc environment is not GUI (graphical user interface) oriented, rather you use a UNIX environment giving commends in terms of words in a terminal application. So you will need to know or learn some UNIX
