What does a successful start of gview look like?

  • You should see a number of windows appear
  • All users should see something like the image below (I am using a mac)
    • the gaussview 5.0 window should disappear quite quickly
    • you can get rid of the "did you know" hints window
    • the grey window with buttons and a molecule, has all the gaussview controls
    • the blue/purple window has nothing in it, yet!. This is where you will be building your molecule

    • raapoi_gaussview_startup

  • If you have got this far, well done! We are ready to now start using Gaussview which is a graphical user interface to the Gaussian suite of programs.
