Building the Buildpack

To build this buildpack, run the following command from the buildpack’s directory:

1. Source the .envrc file in the buildpack directory.

   source .envrc

   To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.

2. Install buildpack-packager

   ./scripts/install_tools.sh

3. Build the buildpack

   buildpack-packager build [ --cached=(true|false) ]

4. Use in Cloud Foundry

   Upload the buildpack to your Cloud Foundry and optionally specify it by name

   cf create-buildpack [BUILDPACK_NAME] [BUILDPACK_ZIP_FILE_PATH] 1
   cf push my_app [-b BUILDPACK_NAME]

   To simplify the process in the future, install direnv which will automatically source .envrc when you change directories.
