From b32aac909a4f3b16bbe93131c34e5fca0578d73d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Shao Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2020 20:16:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Update Heroku installation instructions The current version of CrewLink does not accept URLs if you remove the `https://` from the Heroku URL. The trailing `/` works with or without. Removed reference to manual installation instructions as that talks about server's IP and port, which may be confusing to users as a URL is provided in the previous step. --- README.md | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index b2781a3..4eb7594 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -49,11 +49,17 @@ Optional environment variables: ## Deploy to Heroku -To get up and running quickly, you can deploy to Heroku using the button below +To get up and running quickly, you can deploy to Heroku using the button below: [![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy) -This will deploy an instance of the crewlink-server.
