If you're running Backstage with Node 20 or later, you'll need to pass the flag `--no-node-snapshot` to Node in order to use the templates feature. One way to do this is to specify the `NODE_OPTIONS` environment variable before starting Backstage: -`export NODE_OPTIONS=--no-node-snapshot` +`export NODE_OPTIONS="$NODE_OPTIONS --no-node-snapshot"` + +> It's important to append to the existing `NODE_OPTIONS` value, if it's already set, rather than overwriting it, since some NodeJS Debugging tools may rely on this environment variable to work properly. :::
