The basic processes common to setting up and performing a computational study will be illustrated with a grounded historical example from Near East Studies.  Starting with the fundamental, minimal tooling needs, we'll demonstrate the path from an empty directory and a command-line to a full-fledged research project.  While the narration won't go deeply into the choices, each concrete step will be justified at a high level and linked to copious documentation of the relevant open-source software used.  The demonstration can be used as a starting-point for a new research project, or simply as a way to exercise and expand understanding of its components.
