Deploying an airbnb rendr app in Heroku

Welcome to the second post about Rendr. In the following steps we are gonna see how to setup a Rendr app to upload it to Heroku. So less talking and more doing:

1. In the root directory we have to create a file called Procfile. Inside this file we have to write the following line:

1:  web: node index.js  

2. Then we modify Gruntfile.js, also in the root directory. Inside this file, at the bottom, we have to add the highlighted line:

0:    ... 
1:   // Default task(s).  
2:    grunt.registerTask('default', ['compile']);  
3:    grunt.registerTask('heroku:', ['compile']);  
4:   };  

3.  Due to the fact that we can't compile assets, templates and styles in the Heroku server, we have to compile those files in our workstation (running sudo grunt ) and then add them to the Heroku commit.
4. Upload all the files to Heroku and wait the start-up process.
5. Listo ;)

PS: If the dyno didn't start run : heroku  ps:scale web=1

I hope you find it useful.
