Getting Started
Establish Computing Foundations - Temple Town Technologies Docs
Set up a stable, secure, and scalable computing environment for business operations, data analysis, and team collaboration.
A reliable computing environment is key to building effective business strategy systems.
Create a stable, consistent, and controlled environment for structured analysis, documentation, collaboration, and scalable workflows.
Aim for consistency, control, and reliability across individuals, teams, and enterprise systems.
Why Computing Foundations Matter
A structured computing setup enables:
- Reliable data collection, storage, and analysis
- Consistent documentation, reporting, and planning
- Scalable workflows and automation
- Smooth collaboration across distributed teams
A solid foundation, operational systems, KPIs, and AI-enabled workflows mitigate risk, failure and inconsistencies.
Prerequisites
Ensure the following before beginning:
- Dedicated physical machine or virtual system for work
- Stable internet connectivity
- Basic familiarity with OS installation and software setup
This setup is suitable for individuals, small teams, and enterprise environments.
Operating System Setup
Linux-based operating systems are recommended for stability, security, speed and long-term support.
Common choices:
- Debian — stable, predictable, and ideal for production/enterprise
- Arch Linux — minimal and flexible, suited for advanced users seeking full control
Steps:
- Use official installation media and follow standard disk, user, and network configuration practices
- Update the system via native package manager to ensure all packages are current
- Verify system reliability before adding workflows or software
A solid OS layer reduces errors and supports consistent operations across teams.
Core Productivity Tools
Once the OS is ready, install essential tools for documentation, planning, and collaboration.
Office & Documentation
- LibreOffice for spreadsheets, documents, and presentations
- Enables operational data analysis, KPI tracking, reporting, and stakeholder communication
- Works offline and ensures compatibility with common file formats
Save as open format or any other compatible format(docx, xlsx).
File Organization
Create a clear, standardized folder structure:
- Strategy & planning documents
- Operational datasets & analytics
- Reports, presentations, and outputs
Consistency in organization reduces friction and supports scalable knowledge management.
System Readiness Checks
Confirm foundational stability before advancing:
- System boots reliably and updates without errors
- Office tools open, edit, and save correctly
- Network connectivity is stable for collaboration
This ensures the environment can reliably support advanced tools, automation, and operational workflows.
Configure application settings as appropriate.
Next Steps
With a stable computing foundation, next:
- Structure operational data and KPIs
- Introduce collaboration workflows and role-based access
- Layer advanced analytics, databases, and AI-enabled tools
Continue to the next Configuration section to set up workflows, access controls, and core operational settings.
