<li>This app was deployed to Heroku, either using Git or by using <a href="https://github.com/heroku/node-js-getting-started">Heroku Button</a> on the repository.</li>
<li>When Heroku received the source code, it grabbed all the dependencies in the <a href="https://github.com/heroku/node-js-getting-started/blob/master/package.json">package.json</a>.</li>
<li>When Heroku received the source code, it fetched all the dependencies in the <a href="https://github.com/heroku/node-js-getting-started/blob/master/package.json">package.json</a>, creating a deployable slug.</li>
<li>The platform then spins up a dyno, a lightweight container that provides an isolated environment in which the slug can be mounted and executed.</li>
<li>You can scale your app, manage it, and deploy over <a href="https://addons.heroku.com/">150 add-on services</a>, from the Dashboard or CLI.</li>

<li>If you deployed this app by deploying the Heroku Button, then in a command line shell, run:</li>
<ul>
<li><code>git clone https://github.com/heroku/node-js-getting-started.git</code> - this will create a local copy of the source code for the app</li>
<li><code>cd node-js-getting-started</code> - change directory into the local source code repository</li>
<li><code>heroku git:remote -a <your-app-name></code> - associate the Heroku app with the repository</li>
<li>You'll now be set up to run the app locally, or <a href="https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#push-local-changes">deploy changes</a> to Heroku</li>
