Using Heroku

Heroku provides a free web application deployment services, integrated with the Cloud9 development environment through Git and GitHub. Following is a brief outline for configuring and deploying a project on Heroku.

Install Heroku Tools

  • Open a project in Cloud9

  • In the Cloud9 Project, choose :menuselection:`View --> Console` from the menu

  • At the console command line, type:

    c9pm install heroku

  • To make sure that your install was successful, and to get ready to use heroku, run the following command in your Terminal:

    heroku login

    Enter your heroku username and password when prompted.

Add Heroku Server to Project

  • Open a project in Cloud9

  • In the Cloud9 Project, choose :menuselection:`View --> Console` from the menu

  • At the console command line, type:

    heroku create

    This will create a heroku server for your app, and configure your git repository with an extra remote location that you can push to to deploy your app.

  • To see the new git heroku deployment branch, type:

    git remote -v

  • Open in a new browser tab, and bookmark, the url of your new heroku server, which you will see in the output of the heroku create command. The URL will look similar to this:

    random-word-1234.herokuapp.com

  • After making changes to the project in Cloud9 and pushing to the GitHub repository, deploy changes on Heroku with the additional command:

    git push heroku master

  • Now you can view your live site at your heroku server URL (which you bookmarked earlier).
