1. Install the plugin using:

# From your Backstage root directory
yarn --cwd packages/backend add @backstage-community/plugin-lighthouse-backend

1. In your packages/backend/src/index.ts make the following changes:

  import { createBackend } from '@backstage/backend-defaults';

  const backend = createBackend();

  // ... other feature additions

+ backend.add(import('@backstage-community/plugin-lighthouse-backend'));

  backend.start();
