Heroku not recognized as an internal or external command (Windows)

Question

Following this heroku tutorial to launch an app on heroku. But when I use the command heroku create, it says it's not recognized. I added C:\Program Files\Heroku to my PATH. How do I fix this?

Answer 1

You're probably using an old version or the deprecated package 'heroku-cli'. The new one is just called 'heroku' Uninstall that by

npm uninstall -g heroku-cli 

Then install the new package

npm i -g heroku 

And now all your works will go perfectly.Just try heroku login and any other heroku command.
