Let's try a local build first.

$ foreman start

This command should set up a server at localhost:5000, where you can play with the app and test out queries (its functionality is quite basic).

With your local version working, push to heroku!

$ git push heroku master

Don't forget to push your changes to GitHub. Heroku recommends git services external to itself for canonical version control.

$ git push origin master
