So...feel ready to jump in? Let's do this. 👏🏻💯
To run a Backstage app, you will need to have the following installed:
- [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) - Active LTS Release, currently v12
- [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install)
After cloning this repo, open a terminal window and start the example app using the following commands from the project root:
```bash
yarn install # Install dependencies
yarn start # Start dev server, use --check to enable linting and type-checks
```
The final `yarn start` command should open a local instance of Backstage in your browser, otherwise open one of the URLs printed in the terminal.
Depending on the work you're doing, you often also want to run the example backend. Start the backend in a separate terminal session using the following:
```bash
cd packages/backend
yarn start
yarn lerna run mock-data # Populate the backend with mock data
```
And that's it! You are good to go 👍
