Here is how I would set up a computational lab, one that could join the Worldwide ZINC network.
Requirements and assumptions
This page describes setting up a full computational pharmacology research lab. We describe the minimum setup, plus options for expansion. The entry level assumes you can spend: $20K on servers and $2K on a workstation. You'll need an acoustically insulated air conditioned room. It would help to have someone with system administration experience for 100 hours (3 weeks) for the initial set up, and then 1 day/month for maintenance.
When you have all the software and hardware, you can get a docking lab up and running at a basic level in less than a day. If you do not have all the software and hardware, it will take longer. If you've never run a molecular docking lab, allow a week to learn the basics.
Physical level
Operating System level
Middleware level
Set up middleware for a computational drug discovery lab.
Server Application Software
Using git and github
Client Application Software
Operations
Monthly maintenance tasks.
