My Heroku (Meroku), because hosting 100 apps costs $700 ($7x100) at heroku.com

Ruby on Rails is a popular web framework written in Ruby. This guide covers using Rails 5 on Meroku. To follow along, you need

• Basic Ruby/Rails knowledge.

• A locally installed version of Ruby 2.4.2+, Rubygems, Bundler, and Rails 5+.

• Basic Git knowledge.

Install the meroku gem on your local workstation

$ gem install meroku

Once installed, you’ll have access to the $ meroku command from your command shell.

$ meroku signup     # if you haven't done already

Make sure you're running the latest version of ruby

$ cd ~; ruby --version
ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-darwin16]

Install the rails gem if you haven't done already

$ gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc
Successfully installed rails-5.1.4
1 gem installed

Then create a new app:

$ rails new myapp --database=postgresql

Then move into your application directory.

$ cd myapp

Mention you want to the latest ruby version

$ echo "2.4.2" > .ruby-version

And commit it

$ git add --all; git commit -m "Added ruby version";

Register your application with meroku

$ meroku create
Creating app... done

Add your public key to meroku

$ meroku keys:add

And deploy

$ git push meroku master
$ meroku run rake db:migrate
