Want to contribute? Great!

To setup the meilix-generator on Heroku follow the following steps:

Automatic Deploy

You can use the one click deployment

Note: Make sure to generate your own tokens and API keys. Refer to my_token.md for details.

Manual Deploy

You can setup your app on heroku manually

Requirements

• heroku toolbelt installed on your system
• git installed on your system

Clone repos and setup

Fork meilix-generator and meilix onto your account.

$ git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/meilix-generator.git meilix-generator

Login into heroku

$ heroku login

cd into the repository and create a heroku app

$ cd meilix-generator

$ heroku create
Creating app... done, ⬢ your-heroku-app-name
https://your-heroku-app-name.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/your-heroku-app-name.git

Note: replace <your-heroku-app-name> with your heroku app name, and <username> with your GitHub username

Check if Heroku's git URL is added into the remote

$ git remote -v
heroku	https://git.heroku.com/<your-heroku-app-name>.git (fetch)
heroku	https://git.heroku.com/<your-heroku-app-name>.git (push)
origin	https://github.com/<username>/meilix-generator.git (push)
origin	https://github.com/<username>/meilix-generaotr.git (push)

If it is not added automatically add the link to heroku's repository

$ git remote add heroku https://git.heroku.com/<your-heroku-app-name>.git

Now push the onto Heroku

$ git push heroku master

Sometimes the server may take a while to start, the logs would say State changed from starting to up when the server is ready.

Open the URL of your server in your browser

$ heroku open

Congrats you are done now!. Your app should be available at https://your-heroku-app-name.herokuapp.com/
