Easy Deployment to Heroku

The current version of TweetLens is targeted for deployment on Heroku, mainly because that’s what I’m using to run it at the moment. It’s easy to get the app up and running there.

1. Clone the TweetLens source: git clone git://github.com/reidab/tweetscope.git
2. Customize your site and commit your changes to your local git repository. git commit -a -m "description of changes"
3. Sign up for a platform preview account at Heroku if you don’t have one already and install the heroku gem (sudo gem install heroku)
4. In your TweetLens directory, create a Heroku app. This will set up heroku create your_app_name
5. Push your app to Heroku. git push heroku
6. Check out your new site. heroku open
