Heroku

This will be a step by step guide on going from 0 to Heroku deployment for Reaction Commerce

If you don't have one already sign up for a Heroku account.

Install the Heroku Toolbelt based on your OS here and follow the heroku login instructions on the page.

Reaction

Install a copy of reaction commerce.

git clone https://github.com/reactioncommerce/reaction.git
git checkout trunk
heroku create

Heroku create generates a random app name, so let's change it.

heroku apps:rename (desired-name) --app (current-name)

Now add a ROOT_URL environment variable

heroku config:set ROOT_URL=http://(desired-name).herokuapp.com

Now Add a Mongolab instance (they have a free tier for heroku)

heroku addons:create mongolab

Now we'll need to add the buildpack that'll let Meteor play nice with Heroku

heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/swrdfish/meteor-buildpack-horse.git

Finally

git push heroku trunk

Wait... And Done :)
