We need to give Heroku the ability to pull in data from DVC upon app start up. We will install a buildpack that allows the installation of apt-files and then define the Aptfile that contains a path to DVC. I.e., in the CLI run:

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 heroku-community/apt

Then in your root project folder create a file called Aptfile that specifies the release of DVC you want installed, e.g. https://github.com/iterative/dvc/releases/download/2.0.18/dvc_2.0.18_amd64.deb

Add the following code block to your main.py:

import os

if "DYNO" in os.environ and os.path.isdir(".dvc"):
    os.system("dvc config core.no_scm true")
    if os.system("dvc pull") != 0:
        exit("dvc pull failed")
    os.system("rm -r .dvc .apt/usr/lib/dvc")
