heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL="http://github.com/[your github username]/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git"
works from your existing app directory.

Hey Pat, thanks for the comment.

I apologize for insinuating that your solution wasn't helpful. Your blog post was the only solution I could find for the problem. I appreciate you posting it.

It isn't easy finding some of the documentation on nodejs support on heroku, but I love the platform, so I'm happy to figure it out and push through.

Thanks for the note about the BUILDPACK_URL env var. I had noticed it somewhere in github comments. I'll update my post.

Thanks for the link back to my article. BTW - at the time I wrote it, that was the *only* way of using a different version of Node.js on Heroku; the use of AWS was a required step - hardly 'silly' - and obsoleted by later work...

You noted the labs feature in your update - this has now been released to production, so it's super easy to pick versions of Node.js and npm from http://heroku-buildpack-nodejs... and http://heroku-buildpack-nodejs... respectively - see http://devcenter.heroku.com/ar.... I'll go back and update my blog entry too...

BTW - buildpack is expressed in the BUILDPACK_URL env var, which can be modified after the fact with heroku config, just like any other env var, though, if I remember correctly, you may need to redeploy for it to take effect, since changing env vars normally only triggers a restart.

It does. You should try to do pure .as, then it would be small, fast and nice looking.

Absolutely and completely true. As soon as we start to focus on the act of networking it kind of ruins it. I'll make reference to that as well.

Networking does not have any requirements other than talking to other people. All of the negative connotations come from people perverting and abusing the efficient nature of networking. Networking is the most natural and common activity in the world. Every person in the world networks every time they talk to another human being.
