  5. create a Heroku application using this command (make sure you already install the heroku cli)

    Note When you invoke this command it ask you to login into your Heroku account, you can pass your account crednetials through the terminal or use web login to authenticate.

    Check now your Heroku dashboard, a new app has been created

    heroku create

    create app

    Ignore the generated git repo link for now, we will create our own repo later

    sudo rm -rf .git

  6. Install the AWS SDK for PHP

    heroku config:set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=aaa AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=bbb S3_BUCKET=ccc

  10. Write down the php scripts to handle files upload/download (check files upload, download)
