'foreman' is not recognized as an interal or external command

Question

I am trying to get started with Node.js on Windows.

All went good on localhost, so I decided to try heroku for hosting my app.

I followed this tutorial and everything goes well until the foreman start part, saying that

'foreman' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I have tried installing/uninstalling foreman using npm, but nothing changed.

I would appreciate any help as I have been stuck on this since yesterday

Answer 1

apparently "foreman start" is no longer in use. Instead you can go to the root directory of you application and type "heroku local web" to build the app locally. For more info you can take a look at their documentation here.

Answer 2

Foreman comes with the Heroku toolbelt - see http://toolbelt.heroku.com
