works on local machine but nothing on Heroku

per-env works just fine locally. npm install correctly runs different scripts based on NODE_ENV. but when I deploy on heroku, none of them works.

seems like heroku doesn't recognise install:production etc. here is my package.json

@hadifarnoud Do you have your environment set for production?

I remember when I used Heroku this part always got me...

I changed my package.json to this and it worked. I had to add heroku-postbuild.

and I also had to disable NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION
