What is the Heroku CLI and how do I install it?
The Heroku Command Line Interface, commonly referred to as the Heroku CLI, is a powerful tool that enables developers to manage Heroku applications directly from the command line. With the Heroku CLI, users can perform a variety of tasks, such as creating and deploying applications, managing add-ons, and configuring application settings. It simplifies the development workflow and enhances productivity by allowing users to execute commands without needing to navigate through the Heroku web interface.
To install the Heroku CLI, users can follow these steps. First, they should visit the official Heroku website, where they will find the most up-to-date installation instructions, which are tailored for different operating systems, including macOS, Windows, and Linux. For macOS, users can take advantage of the Homebrew package manager. On Windows, users can download an installer directly. For Linux, the installation can be performed using apt or other package management tools based on the distribution.
After installation, users should verify the CLI is set up correctly by running the command "heroku --version" in the terminal. This command will display the installed version of the Heroku CLI, confirming its successful installation. For further details about configuration and usage, users can refer to the extensive documentation available on the Heroku website.
