Question

Trying to setup Heroku according to this start guide, but Im experiencing a no such file or directory. What is leading to this? My experience with this -bash error is that it it can be to an erroneous space, or character, or obviously that there is no file, but what am I missing?

here is the console error from the setup:

localhost:local cf$ heroku login
Enter your Heroku credentials.
Email: [e-mail]
Password (typing will be hidden): 
Found existing public key: /Users/cf/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Uploading SSH public key /Users/cf/.ssh/id_rsa.pub... done
Enter your Heroku credentials.
Email: [e-mail]
Password (typing will be hidden): 
Authentication successful.
localhost:local cf$ cd ~/myapp
-bash: cd: /Users/cf/myapp: No such file or directory

The help guide shows

Could not find an existing public key.
Would you like to generate one? [Yn]
Generating new SSH public key.
Uploading ssh public key /Users/adam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

whereas I already had an SSH key:

Found existing public key: /Users/cf/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Uploading SSH public key /Users/cf/.ssh/id_rsa.pub... done

Is that something that need to be looked into? I have also tried in a different instance of the terminal, and that did not work.

YOu should create a folder called myapp. Before:

localhost:local cf$ cd ~/myapp

write:

localhost:local cf$ mkdir ~/myapp
localhost:local cf$ cd ~/myapp

This is not an Heroku issue. You need minimal Unix familiarity … . Cheer up!

The ~ symbol means ‘your home directory’.
