Works also on Linux Mint LMDE, see Guide for details. Even if I got everything running, I'm still prefering to deploy to my own servers, it was a hassle. Sometimes deploying free applications is dead slow.

Installing the Heroku on Ubuntu wget -qO- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh
Login heroku login
Add Repo git remote add heroku [email protected]:autocomplete-has-many-demo.git
Push git push heroku master
Update in Gemfile, changing the source speeds things up if Heroku has connection issues with Rubygems

source 'http://bundler-api.herokuapp.com'
ruby '2.0.0'

gem 'pg'
gem 'rails_12factor'

group :development do
  # ...
  gem 'sqlite3'
end

Sometimes sqlite had to be removed all together.

For Rails 4 apps a binary rails is necessary, it can be created with rake rails:update:bin and then pushed to heroku
