- Heroku command line tools installed

Manual instructions
-------------------

```bash
# Get the last development version
git clone https://github.com/fguillot/kanboard.git
cd kanboard

# Push the code to Heroku (You can also use SSH if git over HTTP doesn't work)
heroku create
git push heroku master

heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev

heroku open
```

Limitations
-----------

- The storage of Heroku is ephemeral, that means uploaded files through Kanboard are not persistent after a reboot. You may want to install a plugin to store your files in a cloud storage provider like [Amazon S3](https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-s3).
- Some features of Kanboard require that you run [a daily background job](cronjob.markdown).
