Can not deploy to Heroku

I'm trying to deploy the sample app on a heroku instance, but keep receiving an error when trying to do so.

:node (master) $ git push heroku master

Any assistance on pointing me in the correct direction resolve would be greatly appreciated.

I realized that this was an issue on my side. I thought the directory I was working in was already in git and it was not. This had a bunch of other ramifications that was preventing the app from deploying properly to Heroku. Once I got it in git, worked as expect. Chalk this up to user (my) error.
