type in gem install heroku

Then upload rsa key of github to heroku

$ heroku keys:add
Uploading ssh public key /Users/adam/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Once you key in configured with heroku and github with command all your code goes to github and from there to Heroku

git push heroku master

and soon you will see these messages

-----> Heroku receiving push
-----> Ruby/Rails app detected
-----> Detected Rails is not set to serve static_assets

Not sure about `gem ...`, but `heroku keys:add` definitely solved my issue (upvoted). – JJ Zabkar Oct 09 '13 at 22:15

It looks like heroku isn't accepting your machine's public keys. Be sure that you've given your public key to heroku. Heroku's guide on SSH keys should help.

Are you able to SSH to other servers using public keys? – Andrew Marshall Feb 28 '11 at 00:05
I am newbie and am unable access github and heroku for now.. i tried to work it on ubuntu but its even worse.. heroku wont even install in ubuntu !! – sakthig Feb 28 '11 at 13:32
Try making a backup of your local keys and restarting the entire key-setup process on Windows. You can also try contacting Heroku's support as well. – Andrew Marshall Feb 28 '11 at 16:47

I ran into a similar issue on OSX with heroku-toolbelt/2.32.8. Even after following heroku I was unsuccessful until I used a key in the default path - IE ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

Placing the key in the id_rsa default space was the *only* thing I could do to get this to work. Thanks! – Wade Williams Mar 09 '13 at 15:40

This link helped me fix the same problem. I used heroku keys to see I had two keys. Then I typed heroku remove:keys email@email.com twice to remove them - then used heroku add:keys - and when I tried to push to heroku, it worked. – Bob Cavezza Dec 04 '11 at 22:06

I had the same issue - turns out I forgot that Windows 8 doesn't start the command prompt with admin privileges by default like Windows 7 did. Running it as administrator fixed my issue.

On ubuntu sudo su solved it for me.

When I used ssh to generate the key, then if you read the contents of "id_rsa.pub" there's a username at the end of the file. For me it was "root@pc-name", but without sudo su the current username is "username@pc-name" instead of "root@pc-name". sudo su solves that by switching to "root@pc-name".

This solution worked for me. I suspect that a better practice is to generate a key with the user role rather than use the root one. – mpgarate Sep 07 '13 at 00:34

If using Windows and Cygwin, I had to start Cygwin with admin privileges before it would let me push to Heroku.
