TechDocs functions as a plugin to Backstage, so you will need to use Backstage
to use TechDocs.
## What is Backstage?
Backstage is an open platform for building developer portals. Its based on the
developer portal weve been using internally at Spotify for over four years.
[Read more here](https://github.com/spotify/backstage).
## Prerequisities
In order to use Backstage and TechDocs, you 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, jump to
> [Installing TechDocs](#installing-techdocs), otherwise complete this step.
To create a new Backstage application for TechDocs, run the following command:
```bash
npx @backstage/create-app
```
You will then be prompted to enter a name for your application. Once that's
done, a new Backstage application will be created in a new folder. For example,
if you choose the name `hello-world`, a new `hello-world` folder is created
containing your new Backstage application.
If you haven't setup Backstage already, start
[here](../../getting-started/index.md).
