Why a port?

Installing Honcho

pip install honcho

If you're one of those sick people who's into this kind of thing, you can probably also easy_install honcho. But please, don't: get with the program.

How to use Honcho

The 30-second version:

1. Write a Procfile:

   $ cat >Procfile <<EOM
   web: python serve.py
   redis: redis-server
   EOM

2. Optional: write a .env file to configure your app:

   $ cat >.env <<EOM
   PORT=6000
   REDIS_URI=redis://localhost:6789/0
   EOM

3. Run the app with Honcho:
