To use the script, do the following:

$ curl -O https://git.aps.anl.gov/practical_beamline_controls_training/session_2/instructions/-/raw/main/scripts/quickstart.sh
$ chmod a+x quickstart.sh

Then copy and paste the output from the script into the terminal and proceed to the "Deploy a new IOC" section.
