Heroku command not found

Question

After installing Heroku Toolbelt, in terminal on Mac when trying to run the following command:

heroku

I get the error:

bash: he         


        

Answer 1

Just run

$ gem install heroku

Form your app that's it.

Answer 2

Ran gem install heroku first and it gave me the following message:

heroku must be installed from cli.heroku.com. This gem is no longer available. (RuntimeError)

Steps from Heroku:

1. brew tap heroku/brew && brew install heroku

or Ubuntu

sudo snap install --classic heroku

Answer 3

First install heroku:

wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install.sh | bash

After that add a symlink to binary like @Garrett did:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/heroku/bin/heroku /usr/bin/heroku

Answer 4

After installing Heroku Toolbelt using the .pkg file I downloaded from Heroku's Getting Started with Rails 4.x on Heroku page, I got the heroku command not found message. My /usr/local/heroku/bin folder did exist.

I was able to resolve this issue by going to https://toolbelt.heroku.com and downloading the same .pkg file from that site and re-installing it. Note, I did not uninstall the previous package first.

Answer 5

when you install heroku in linux as per the documentation using

sudo snap install heroku --classic

it will install heroku inside /snap/bin/heroku but when you type the command in terminal it will look into /usr/bin/ directory, a simple solution is to create a symlink by

sudo ln -s  /snap/bin/heroku /usr/bin/heroku

after that you can just run the heroku command in terminal.

I am using zsh which didn't have snap in its path. So just add this in ~/.zshrc.

export PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin
