If the command $SCHRODINGER/run shows that the /run is a directory it means that the the SCHRODINGER environment variable path is not set. To set the environment variable path follow the below code:

export SCHRODINGER=installdir

  2. Then add the code at the bottom export SCHRODINGER="/opt/schrodinger2023-1"
  3. Reload the bashrc by source ~/.bashrc
  4. Now check the path was added or not by echo $SCHRODINGER, If the code returns /opt/schrodinger2023-1 that means the path added permanently.
  5. Now you may run $SCHRODINGER/run from anywhere of you machine
