I follow the instructions on http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/play to get my Play! (Java) app running on heroku.

However, I’m stuck on this step, with the error ‘stack not found’. 

$ heroku create -stack cedar 
! Stack not found

Unfortunately the documentation is not very complete, some important information about prerequisites seems to be missing, incl. minimum required ruby version.
What does this error “Stack not found” mean? I thought the toolbelt installation already includes all required prerequisites so far, if not otherwise listed – at least I would assume that from such a Getting Started doc’s prerequisites section?

(I’m on Mac OS X Lion, Ruby 1.9.3)

    Assuming that’s not a typo, you need to use --stack not -stack:

    $ heroku create --stack cedar
