This tutorial essentially describes how to run DESMOND without any of the annoying wrappers shipped by Schrodinger. It's making the code possible to run in a sane fashion – similar to how you launch your any other MD codes on the cluster. We'll cover both the CPU DESMOND and the GPU GDESMOND.

Install 'Desmond_Maestro_2016.3.tar' following their instructions. Here is an example module file, to accomp
