  • add Elixir buildpack: heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir.git
  • edit elixir_buildpack.config with erlang and elixir versions (currently, erlang 22, elixir 1.9.2)
  • create a heroku's Procfile with the content: web: mix run --no-halt
  • deploy: git push heroku master
