Implementation options:

1. Adding an options to postConfigure for a user to provide the 'quick-install' for single-server and 'system name'. Example is shown here:

/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore/bin/postConfigure -i /home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore -qs -sn david

2. Adding a new script that a user can enter where it will run both the post-install and postConfigure scripts. This works for both root and non-root installs.
Here is an example run of that for a non-root install

./quick_installer_single_server.sh
Run post-install script

The next steps are:

If installing on a pm1 node:

export COLUMNSTORE_INSTALL_DIR=/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore/lib:/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore/mysql/lib
/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore/bin/postConfigure -i /home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore

If installing on a non-pm1 using the non-distributed option:

export COLUMNSTORE_INSTALL_DIR=/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore/lib:/home/david_hill/mariadb/columnstore/mysql/lib
columnstore/bin/columnstore start

Run postConfigure script

This is the MariaDB ColumnStore System Configuration and Installation tool.
It will Configure the MariaDB ColumnStore System and will perform a Package
Installation of all of the Servers within the System that is being configured.

IMPORTANT: This tool requires to run on the Performance Module #1

===== Quick Single-Server Install Configuration =====

Single-Server install is used when there will only be 1 server configured
on the system. It can also be used for production systems, if the plan is
to stay single-server.

===== Performing Configuration Setup and MariaDB ColumnStore Startup =====

NOTE: Setting 'NumBlocksPct' to 50%
Setting 'TotalUmMemory' to 25% of total memory.
