Document how to run a plan in a dev environment #694
Description
Currently the docs at https://diamondlightsource.github.io/blueapi/main/tutorials/quickstart.html get you as far as running a local blueAPI but when you then try and run a plan e.g. the sleep example in https://diamondlightsource.github.io/blueapi/main/how-to/run-cli.html you get a message with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
