title: Creating an emberjs project in Heroku
body: <p>I followed these steps to create an ember project on Heroku: <a href="https://www.heroku.com/emberjs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.heroku.com/emberjs</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ git clone git@github.com:heroku/ember-js-getting-started.git
  $ cd ember-js-getting-started
  $ heroku create --buildpack https://codon-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/buildpacks/heroku/emberjs.tgz
  $ git push heroku master
  $ heroku open
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, after cloning the repository, what exactly does the line:
  <code>heroku create --buildpack https://codon-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/buildpacks/heroku/emberjs.tgz</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I guess that to create an ember app you need to setup a node environment which is the only option you have for js: </p>
  
  <p><code>$ heroku create myapp --buildpack heroku/nodejs</code></p>
  
  <p>I can set up my repo on github, then either manually on heroku or using the terminal create the <code>--buildpack</code> and push it.</p>
  
  <p>Again, why then: <code>heroku create --buildpack https://codon-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/buildpacks/heroku/emberjs.tgz</code>, that's my question.</p>
