 # Running Fathom on Heroku
 
-Please follow the instructions [outlined here](https://github.com/usefathom/fathom/issues/59#issuecomment-413535914).
+### Requirements
+
+* heroku cli (logged in)
+* git
+* curl
+* wget
+* tar are required
+* ~ openssl is required to generate the secret_key, but you're free to use what you want
+
+### Create the app
+
+First you need to choose a unique app name, as Heroku generates a subdomain for your app.
+
+* create the app via the buildpack
+
+```bash
+heroku create UNIQUE_APP_NAME --buildpack https://github.com/ph3nx/heroku-binary-buildpack.git
+```
+
+* locally clone the newly created app
+
+```bash
+heroku git:clone -a UNIQUE_APP_NAME
+cd UNIQUE_APP_NAME
+```
+
+* create the folder that will contain fathom
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p bin
+```
+
+* download latest version of fathom for linux 64bit
+
+```bash
+curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/usefathom/fathom/releases/latest \
+  | grep browser_download_url \
+  | grep linux_amd64.tar.gz \
+  | cut -d '"' -f 4 \
+  | wget -qi - -O- \
+  | tar --directory bin -xz - fathom
+```
+
+* create the Procfile for Heroku
+
+```bash
+echo "web: bin/fathom server" > Procfile
+```
+
+* create a Postgres database (you can change the type of plan if you want - https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql#pricing)
+
+```bash
+heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
+```
+
+* update the environment variables, generate a secret_key
+
+here you can change the way you generate your secret_key.
+
+```bash
+heroku config:set PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/app/bin \
+  FATHOM_DATABASE_DRIVER=postgres \
+  FATHOM_DATABASE_URL=$(heroku config:get DATABASE_URL) \
+  FATHOM_DEBUG=true \
+  FATHOM_SECRET= $(openssl rand -base64 32) \
+  FATHOM_GZIP=true
+```
+
+* add, commit and push all our files
+
+```bash
+git add --all
+git commit -m "First Commit"
+git push heroku master
+```
+
+* the created app runs as a free-tier. A free-tier dyno uses the account-based pool
+of free dyno hours. If you have other free dynos running, you will need to upgrade your app to a 'hobby' one. - https://www.heroku.com/pricing
+
+```bash
+heroku dyno:resize hobby
+```
+
+* check that everything is working
+
+```bash
+heroku run fathom --version
+```
+
+* add the first user
+
+```bash
+heroku run fathom user add --email="[email protected]" --password="test_password"
+```
+
+* open the browser to login and add your first website
+
+```bash
+heroku open
+```
+
+* ENJOY :)
