 # Getting Started
+
+> TechDocs is not feature complete and currently you can't set up a complete
+> end-to-end working TechDocs plugin without customizing the plugin itself.
+
+> With TechDocs V.0 you can expect a demonstration of how to integrate docs into
+> Backstage. Currently it can create docs using
+> [mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/), as well as reading published docs. If you
+> publish generated docs and passing in a storageUrl in your `app-config.yaml`
+> you can view it in Backstage by going to
+> `http://localhost:3000/docs/<remote-folder>`.
+
+Getting started with TechDocs is easy. TechDocs functions as a plugin to
+Backstage, why you will need to use Backstage to use TechDocs.
+
+## What is Backstage?
+
+Backstage is an open platform for building developer portals. It’s based on the
+developer portal we’ve been using internally at Spotify for over four years.
+[Read more](https://github.com/spotify/backstage).
+
+## Prerequisities
+
+In order to use Backstage and TechDocs, you will need to have the following
+installed:
+
+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) Active LTS (long term support), currently v12
+- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install)
+
+## Creating a new Backstage app
+
+> If you have already created a Backstage application for this purpose, jump to
+> [Installing TechDocs](#installing-techdocs), otherwise complete this step.
+
+To create a new Backstage application for us to set up TechDocs, you will need
+to run the following command:
+
+```bash
+npx @backstage/cli create-app
+```
+
+You will then be prompted to enter a name for your application. Once you do so,
+this will create a new Backstage application for you in a new folder. For
+example, if we chose the name `hello-world` for our application, it would create
+a new `hello-world` folder containing our new Backstage application.
+
+## Installing TechDocs
+
+Inside of our new Backstage application, TechDocs is not provided by default.
+For this reason we will need to manually set up TechDocs. It should take less
+than a minute.
+
+### Adding the package
+
+We will need to add our plugin to your Backstage application. To do so, you can
+navigate to your new Backstage application folder and then run a single command
+to install TechDocs.
+
+```bash
+cd hello-world/
+```
+
+Then you need to navigate to your `packages/app` folder to install TechDocs:
+
+```bash
+cd packages/app
+yarn add @backstage/plugin-techdocs
+```
+
+After a short while, it should successfully install the TechDocs plugin. Now we
+just need to set up some basic configuration!
+
+Enter the following command:
+
+```bash
+yarn install
+```
+
+Add this to `packages/app/src/plugins.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export { plugin as TechDocs } from '@backstage/plugin-techdocs';
+```
+
+### Setting the configuration
+
+TechDocs allows for configuration of the docs storage URL through your
+app-config file. The URL provided here is demo docs used to testing.
+
+To use the demo docs, add the following lines to `app-config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+techdocs:
+  storageUrl: https://techdocs-mock-sites.storage.googleapis.com
+```
+
+## Run Backstage Locally
+
+Change folder to your Backstage application root.
+
+```bash
+yarn start
+```
+
+Open browser at [http://localhost:3000/docs/](http://localhost:3000/docs/)
