###Downloads
-
Begin by downloading and installing The Heroku Toolkit via MacOSX or Ubuntu. (The Toolkit includes Heroku Command Line utility, as well as git and Foreman.)
-
Install the Bundler gem for Ruby. ( Learn about Bundler )
$ gem install bundler
###Adding Files
- Create a new folder and ensure your folder is not git-enabled...
$ mkdir newfolder
$ cd newfolder/
$ git status
...which should return:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
- Create a gemfile document
$ touch Gemfile
Create a Config.ru file to enable RackUp operations. Add this line
$ touch config.ru
$ cat > config.ru
require './main.rb' run Sinatra::Application
[CTRL-D]
Foreman uses a text file named ‘Procfile’ in the root directory of your app to declare what processes need to run. Create a Procfile
$ touch Procfile
- Open Gemfile in your text editor. Specify the production gems that your application depends.
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'sinatra'
gem 'pry'
gem 'sinatra-reloader'
- Bundle your gems
$ bundle
... which should return something like this:
Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
- Edit Procfile to run your main ruby file:
web: bundle exec ruby main.rb -p $PORT
###Deployment
