Question

I’m trying to install a module on my heroku app. Running this locally (minus the heroku run at the start) works, but I get an error when trying to run it on Heroku.

heroku run play install securesocial-0.2.2

and here’s the output

...
~ Do you want to install this version (y/n)? y

    return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data)

    tfp = open(filename, 'wb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/app/.play/modules/securesocial-0.2.2.zip'

What’s the proper way to do this? I’ve been searching, but I can’t find any documentation on it.

Never used heroku but perhaps this step by step tutorial might help you out.
