How can I run this app on Heroku or similar?

I would like to get this app: https://github.com/lysol/typeto.me/

running on Heroku (or some similar service).

What steps would I need to follow? I'm having a great deal of trouble understanding what to put where.

I already know I need to do something like this:
Can I run coffeescript in Heroku? for the coffeescript stuff.

Solution

  • So this is super easy to run on dotCloud.com

    Here is a demo I just pushed.

    Just clone this fork and push it to dotcloud.

    1. create an account on dotcloud.com
    2. install the cli tool
    3. clone the repo git clone git://github.com/3on/typeto.me.git and cd typeto.me
    4. edit the config file and put right value for "publicHost" typetome-[your dotcloud login].dotcloud.com
    5. create an app dotcloud create typetome
    6. push it to the cloud dotcloud push typetome

    And that's it!
