Heroku Instructions

##Heroku Overview

For this project, we will be using Heroku to deploy actual project for live use. More information about Heroku and documentation are located here:

http://www.heroku.com/ https://devcenter.heroku.com/

##How to Install/Use

Luckily, because of the nature of how Heroku deploys projects using the Python language/Django framework, modifications can be made similar to how changes are made to the Git repository (through basic clone, modification, and push). Upon the push to the Heroku repo, Heroku will automatically configure and deploy the project using the given site name.

However, if other Heroku commands or operations need to be entered, install the Heroku toolkit by going to the page here:

https://toolbelt.heroku.com/

Follow the instructions for complete installation (has for all operating systems).
