Which method you use depends on what you're planning to do. - -Creating a standalone instance makes it simpler to customize the application for your needs whilst staying up to date with the project. You will also depend on `@backstage` packages from NPM, making the project much smaller. This is the recommended approach if you want to kick the tyres of Backstage or setup your own instance. - -On the other hand, if you want to contribute plugins or to the project in general, it's easier to fork and clone this project. That will let you stay up to date with the latest changes, and gives you an easier path to make Pull Requests towards this repo. - -### Creating a Standalone App - -Backstage provides the `@backstage/create-app` package to scaffold standalone instances of Backstage.
