Issues updating Heroku to a newer version on Cloud9 IDE

Question

I've been having trouble trying to update to the latest version of Heroku on Cloud9 as you can see here:

        ~/workspace/hello_app (master): $ heroku version
        heroku-toolbelt/3.31.3 (x86_64-linux) ruby/2.1.5
        You have no installed plugins.
        WARNING: Toolbelt v3.37.6 update available.

But when I try to update it, this is what I got:

        ~/workspace/hello_app (master):$ heroku update
        !    To update this version of the Heroku client please use
        !    `apt-get install heroku-toolbelt`

Then I tried typing in 'apt-get install heroku-toolbelt' into my terminal and this was the result:

       ~/workspace/hello_app (master): $ apt-get install heroku-toolbelt
       E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
       E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

I have also tried to install Heroku Toolbelt using https://toolbelt.heroku.com/ , but I still seem to get the same warning that you see with the first code above telling me that I need to update it to v 3.37.6 . I'm sorry for this newbie mistake, but is there anyone out there that can help me resolve this little issue, please? Thanks.

Answer 1

In the new version of Cloud9 we don't have support for deployment from the UI yet unfortunately.

You can manually install various command-line tools into your workspace and deploy using the command line. It should go without saying that this is for developers that aren't afraid of the command line.

You should use

sudo apt-get install heroku-toolbelt

I got the same problem and it got resolved by this..
