#Step 3. Install Heroku CLI on your system
#Step 4. Login to Heroku
#Step 5. Connect your application to Redis Cloud

#Clone the repository
#Step 6. Setting up environment variables
Go to Heroku dashboard, click "Settings" and set
REDIS_ENDPOINT_URI and REDIS_PASSWORD under the Config Vars. Refer to Step 1 for reference.You now have a functioning Git repository that contains a simple application as well as a package.json file, which is used by Node’s dependency manager.
#Step 7. Deploy your code
Heroku generates a random name (in this case hidden-woodland-03996) for your app, or you can pass a parameter to specify your own app name. Now deploy your code:
#Step 8. Accessing the application
Open https://hidden-woodland-03996.herokuapp.com/ to see your application
