Getting started with Heroku client on Ubuntu 10.04

Note : This actually does work on a GSE Linux box as well.

First, prepare your system with all the libraries needed for Ruby / RVM. You will need to pay attention to the output from aptitude as it resolves the various dependencies. You may or may not have conflicts depending on your specific system setup. Make sure that you agree with what aptitude is about to do before proceeding.

sudo aptitude install build-essential bison openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git 
sudo aptitude install zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev 
sudo aptitude install sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev subversion

Next, install rvm :

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

Open a new shell in order to get rvm on your path. The install already modified your .bashrc for you.

Now install ruby itself :

rvm install 1.9.2

Make ruby 1.9.2 the default...

rvm use 1.9.2 --default

Install the gems necessary to run the Heroku client:

gem install rest-client mime-types launchy heroku

Test your installation:

heroku login
heroku apps

Have you tried the instructions from my node.js blog?

I'm on Ubuntu with root.

Thanks James. I hadn't seen that before. My path was slightly different, as I was told it is best to use rvm on our GSE Linux boxes, so as not to corrupt the Ruby installation that the system uses for other maintenance purposes.

Here's my simplified version.

• Install rvm dependencies:

sudo apt-get install git-core curl

• Install rvm:

bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

• CLOSELY follow the instruction the rvm installer prints out, esp the dependencies required for building ruby, and the .bashrc recommended edits around && return.
• Use rvm to install the latest ruby:

rvm install 1.9.2
rvm use 1.9.2 –default

• Install and test Heroku:

gem install heroku
heroku login
heroku apps
