Help to install gaussian16 on ubuntu

I need to install gaussian16 in an Ubuntu machine, I need to do the Source Code Installation, I have a tbJ and tbz file, the gaussian instruction seem a little unclear to me, in special when it refers to a group, I don't know what they mean with group so this line: '% chgrp -R grp g16' do not work.
If anyone has more detailed instructions or has a step-by-step installation I will really appreciate it.

You need an IT assistant.

The official manual has illustrated everything needed to install Gaussian on Linux OS.

If there is no special reason, please directly use pre-compiled version rather than compiling source code yourself, the latter is significantly more complicated than the former.

The most simple and correct way of installing pre-compiled version of Gaussian is shown in this article: http://sobereva.com/439

I follow this when I installed gaussian09 but with gaussian16 my advisor send me these files only so this is the only thing I have, I manage to install it but gaussian is not working, gaussview works fine but for gaussian it says:
No executable for file l1.exe.

Search path GAUSS_EXEDIR is "/home/arcadio/Programs/gaussian16/g16/bsd:/home/arcadio/Programs/gaussian16/g16"
: No such file or directory

arcadio is the user name of my computer.

But I don't know why, in my bash file I have:
g16root=/home/arcadio/Programs/gaussian16
GAUSS_SCRDIR=/home/arcadio/Programs/gaussian16/g16/scratch
export g16root GAUSS_SCRDIR
. $g16root/g16/bsd/g16.profile

So I don't know why it take that really long and weird path

Please check if there is l1.exe in /home/arcadio/Programs/gaussian16/g16/ folder
If yes, add "export GAUSS_EXEDIR=/home/arcadio/Programs/gaussian16/g16" at the end of .bashrc file, then re-enter the shell, and check if g16 works.

只要安裝PGI編譯器就可以非常容易安裝了..
