 This is the backend part of the `code-coverage` plugin. It takes care of processing various coverage formats and standardizing them into a single json format, used by the frontend.
 
+## Installation
+
+`yarn workspace backend add @backstage/plugin-code-coverage-backend`
+
+First create a `codecoverage.ts` file here: `packages/backend/src/plugins`. Now add the following as its content:
+
+```diff
+diff --git a/packages/backend/src/plugins/codecoverage.ts b/packages/backend/src/plugins/codecoverage.ts
+--- /dev/null
++++ b/packages/backend/src/plugins/codecoverage.ts

++): Promise<Router> {

++    database: env.database,
++    urlReader: env.reader,
++    logger: env.logger,
++  });
++}
+
+```
+
+Finally we need to load the plugin in `packages/backend/src/index.ts`, make the following edits:
