Installation instructions for Heroku buildpack

This buildpack installs the Raygun APM agent on your dyno, and starts it after every deploy. To collect data from a Node application, you also need to install the raygun-apm package as described in our installation instructions.

Navigate to the directory of your project:

cd <YOUR NODE.JS PROJECT>

Initialize a new Heroku project:

heroku create

Add the Raygun APM buildpack:

heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/heroku-buildpack-raygun-apm

Add the Node.js buildpack:

heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs

Add your APM API key to your application configuration:

heroku config:add RAYGUN_API_KEY=<YOUR RAYGUN API KEY>

Commit the changes: e.g.

git commit -am "added heroku set up"

Deploy to Heroku:

git push heroku master

Once installed, the APM agent is started automatically when each dyno starts.
