Heroku Toolbelt on Fedora 17

Question

I am trying to do the heroku setup portion of the tutorial http://ruby.railstutorial.org/. But on https://toolbelt.heroku.com/, I noticed there isn't an .rpm for Fedora, so I tried to install Foreman and the Heroku CLI individually. Foreman and Git installed fine, but I'm having trouble with the Heroku CLI.

When I try to do:

$yum install rubygem-heroku

and then subsequently do simply

$heroku

I get the error:

   /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find heroku (>= 0) amongst [actionmailer-3.2.8, actionpack-3.2.8, activemodel-3.2.8, activerecord-3.2.8, activeresource-3.2.8, activesupport-3.2.8, addressable-2.3.2, arel-3.0.2, builder-3.0.4, builder-3.0.3, bundler-1.2.3, bundler-1.2.1, coffee-rails-3.2.2, coffee-script-2.2.0, coffee-script-source-1.4.0, coffee-script-source-1.3.3, erubis-2.7.0, excon-0.16.10, execjs-1.4.0, foreman-0.60.2, heroku-api-0.3.7, hike-1.2.1, i18n-0.6.1, journey-1.0.4, jquery-rails-2.1.4, jquery-rails-2.1.3, jquery-rails-2.0.2, json-1.7.5, launchy-2.1.2, libv8-3.3.10.4-x86_64-linux, mail-2.4.4, mime-types-1.19, multi_json-1.5.0, multi_json-1.3.6, netrc-0.7.7, polyglot-0.3.3, rack-1.4.1, rack-cache-1.2, rack-ssl-1.3.2, rack-test-0.6.2, rails-3.2.8, railties-3.2.8, rake-10.0.3, rake-0.9.2.2, rdoc-3.12, rest-client-1.6.7, rubygems-bundler-1.1.0, rubyzip-0.9.9, rvm-1.11.3.5, sass-3.2.3, sass-3.2.1, sass-rails-3.2.5, sprockets-2.1.3, sqlite3-1.3.6, sqlite3-1.3.5, therubyracer-0.10.2, thor-0.16.0, tilt-1.3.3, treetop-1.4.12, treetop-1.4.11, treetop-1.4.10, tzinfo-0.3.35, tzinfo-0.3.33, uglifier-1.3.0, uglifier-1.2.3, uglifier-1.0.3] (Gem::LoadError)

    from /usr/share/rubygems/rubygems.rb:1231:in `gem'
    from /usr/bin/heroku:18:in `<main>'

So I yum removed it and tried to instead do:

$rvmsudo gem install heroku

Now when I run heroku, I get:

I am pretty new to this whole ruby (as well as heroku), so I'm not sure what I should be looking for to match up, but everything seems to be ruby-1.9.3, so I am confused as to why Heroku doesn't want to cooperate.

Answer 1

There is also a stand alone version of the toolbelt now available at https://toolbelt.heroku.com/standalone.

Answer 2

I rather used the heroku and the foreman gem than using the heroku tool bet on fedora 17/18.

gem install heroku 
gem install foreman

during installation it will give a warning saying

The heroku gem has been deprecated and replaced with the Heroku Toolbelt.

Ignore that. The toolbet even gave me problems on windows system.

All else works fine on Fedora 17/18.

Enjoy Rubying!

Answer 3

I did

sudo yum install rubygem-heroku 

If you are using RVM, do this

rvm use system

use heroku client.

Had a hard time making heroku command work with rvm+jruby

Answer 4

You should totality go for the standalone option which is way more stable. I had the gem installed as well and I got into a lot type of errors (ssl, cert, yours...)

You can go to:

https://toolbelt.heroku.com/standalone

and install it depending on your OS.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

If you install the rubygem_heroku package, it likely installs the gem in the system ruby.

Based on your examples, you're using RVM.

You should install the heroku gem directly into the RVM environment and gemset you want to use it in:

gem install heroku

I end up getting the same error message when I do it directly as "rvmsudo gem install heroku" – Chickenhearted
