 Welcome to the Apollo Explorer plugin!
 
-This plugin allows users to directly embed an Apollo graph explorer directly into Backstage! 
+This plugin allows users to directly embed an [Apollo](https://www.apollographql.com) graph explorer directly into
+Backstage!
 
 ## Getting started
 
-TODO
+### Getting an Apollo Graph Reference
+
+First things first, you will need an Apollo account, and a graph imported into your account. This is beyond the scope of
+this plugin, so if you are totally new to Apollo, please reference their official
+documentation [here](https://www.apollographql.com/docs).
+
+Once you have a graph set up in Apollo, we need to grab the graph reference.  First, go to your Apollo graphs home page and choose the graph you wish to embed.
+
+![Apollo Graph List](./docs/img/apollo-graph-list.png)
+
+Once you are in your graph explorer, click the dropdown next to the share icon and select `Share as Embedded`
+
+![Share as Embedded](./docs/img/share-as-embedded.png)
+
+This modal contains a number of useful properties, all of which can be passed to the plugin via the component properties, but the only mandatory input we need from here is the `graphRef`.
+
+![Graph Ref](./docs/img/graph-ref.png)
+
+Hold on to this snippet for a second while we set up the plugin ✨
+
+### Installing the Backstage Plugin
+
+First, add the plugin to your Backstage app
+
+```shell
+yarn --cwd packages/app add @backstage/plugin-apollo-explorer
+```
+
+Then, in `packages/app/src/App.tsx` add the plugin as a `Route`
+
+```typescript
+<Route
+  path="/apollo-explorer"
+  element={
+    <ApolloExplorerPage
+      endpoints={[
+        { title: 'Github', graphRef: 'my-github-graph-ref@current' },
+        { title: 'Linear', graphRef: 'my-linear-graph-ref@current' },
+      ]}
+    />
+  }
+/>
+```
+
+Then, in `packages/app/src/components/Root/Root.tsx` add a sidebar item so users can find your beautiful plugin!
+
+```typescript
+<SidebarItem icon={GraphiQLIcon} to="apollo-explorer" text="Apollo Explorer" />
+```
+
+That's it! You should now see an `Apollo Explorer` item in your sidebar, and if you click it, you should see your graph(s) load and direct you to authenticate via Apollo!
+
+![Needs Auth](./docs/img/needs-auth.png)
+
+Once you authenticate, your graph is ready to use 🚀
