In the installation guide, you can read

tar -xvf Schrodinger_Internet_Download.tar
cd Schrodinger_Internet_Download

But instead of

sh ./INSTALL

run

sudo sh ./INSTALL

Why sudo? As not-privileged user you can't create folders in /opt. You need the rights of an administrator, on Linux also known as root.
