Video Demonstration, creating a CMS12 Alloy Sample Site

Hey All

Below you will find a quick video demonstration on how to install a local version of Alloy Sample based on CMS12 / .Net 6. As you will see in the video its extremely simple to do and can be achieved in less than 5 minutes.

I find the Alloy sample site extremely useful for demonstration purposes or doing quick proof of concepts

Incase the commands or instructions are difficult to follow the details are outlined here:

Install .Net 6 @ Download .NET 6.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) (microsoft.com)
Install Optimizely Dotnet Templates -
```
dotnet new install Episerver.Templates
```
Install Alloy MVC Templates -
```
dotnet new epi-alloy-mvc
```
Run the Solution -
```
dotnet run
```
