Using Heroku to run a bot
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
[Thank you /u/cmd-t for helping me to finally understand this](http://www.reddit.com/r/botwatch/comments/34dpku/can_someone_write_a_complete_idiots_guide_to/cqts1tr)
|
|
|
|
Inside git.zip is the .git repo that I created for this. I had to zip it so that I can push it here.
|
|
|
|
1. Create a [Heroku account](http://heroku.com)
|
|
2. Install [Heroku toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/)
|
|
3. Install [Git](http://git-scm.com/)
|
|
4. Create a folder to keep your repo
|
|
5. cd into this folder
|
|
5. Write your bot
|
|
6. Create requirements.txt, and require a version of praw
|
|
7. Create runtime.txt, and require a version of Python
|
|
8. Create Procfile, and create a worker that will launch your bot.
|
|
9. `> heroku login`
|
|
10. `> git init`
|
|
11. `> git add .`
|
|
12. `> git commit -m "1"`
|
|
13. `> heroku create`
|
