My Practical overview

What is Backstage?

Backstage is an open platform for building Developer Portals that create, manage, and explore software from a single UX layer. Backstage was developed initially at Spotify as an internal tool and then open-sourced in 2020. more...

How to create backstage app?

npx @backstage/create-app

Versions I used

• Version of @backstage/create-app available at this time is 0.5.8
• My linux distro - WSL2 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
• Node version - 20.10.0 (Used nvm to manage multiple node versions)
• Yarn version - 1.22.21
• Python version - 3.11.5 (used conda). More...
• gcc version - 12.1.0

I installed gcc through conda to avoid compatibility issue (between other packages). More...

conda install -c conda-forge gcc=12.1.0

PS: backstage.io to work as we expected, python and gcc are very much necessary. And using kali linux is not recommended as we're unable to run sudo apt install build-essential or sudo apt-get -y install gcc. These commands will help us install gcc in our linux debian distro. But thanks to conda, we're still able to install it. So it's up to you 😊
