Files

There are five files necessary to build this web app:

• cartoon_app.py: main Python file of the app.
• setup.sh: file to setup your configuration on Heroku.
• requirements.txt: the file to tell Heroku which dependencies you need to build the app.
• Procfile: file to tell Heroku which and how the command and file should be executed.
• Aptfile: additional file for buildpacks to enable OpenCV to operate within Heroku.

In your Heroku app that you can access on Heroku, you need to add this buildpack: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-apt to complement the Aptfile.

To add the buildpack: Go to your app on Heroku -> choose "Setting" tab on your app -> Then scroll down until you find Buildpacks section -> Click on "add buildpacks" -> paste the above URL.

With Heroku CLI you can use this command to add the buildpacks:

heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-apt.git
