Add quickstart steps with curl and bash

Use bash script with curl. This makes it easy for people using the project for the first time. And means you don't need to clone to keep your clone updated, or specify paths to files.

This could be done with a script that depends on a local directory, but this is more fragile (not portable on machines and requires exact path and cloned repo). And its only advantage over curl approach is speed.

Additionally, add a REPL for taking config details (or create a temporary config file from a template), then using bash to replace the configurable items

Or use a form and a web-generated codeblock. Which is probably more code than it is worth
