mariadb-columnstore-centos7

# Couldn't get this running on any Ubuntu instances.
# Today I used AWS CentOS Linux 7 x86_64 HVM EBS 1602-b7ee8a69-ee97-4a49-9e68-afaee216db2e-ami-d7e1d2bd.3 (ami-6d1c2007)

# install dependencies
sudo yum install perl perl-DBI expect wget nano

wget https://downloads.mariadb.com/enterprise/htxx-hpee/mariadb-columnstore/1.0.0/mariadb-columnstore-1.0.0-centos7.x86_64.rpm.tar.gz

# extract
tar zxvf mariadb-columnstore-1.0.0-centos7.x86_64.rpm.tar.gz

# install rpms, (you might have to change the order but I believe this works)

# create a file named /etc/profile.d/mysql.sh 
sudo nano /etc/profile.d/mysql.sh

# with the following contents
pathmunge /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore/mysql/bin

sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/mysql.sh

# reload bash profile
. /etc/profile

# try it
which mysql

# you should see
/usr/local/mariadb/columnstore/mysql/bin/mysql

# enable the init.d script, just noticed the columnstore script installed by the rpm, though, hmm.  Skip this, probably.
sudo cp /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql.server

# Run postConfigure in the ... dir, I just used all the default settings
cd /usr/local/mariadb/columnstore/bin
sudo ./postConfigure

# holy shit, it works
sudo service columnstore start

Nice work.
