System Information
  • Strapi Version: 3.5.1
  • Operating System: windows 10
  • Database: SQLite development, postqresql production
  • Node Version: 14.16.0
  • NPM Version: 6.14.11
  • Yarn Version: 1.22.10

Please I need your help. I used the strapi CMS, also implementing the PostgreSQL database on production. Tried hosting the CMS on Heroku. But I use windows so when I get to the config settings for MY_HEROKU_URL, windows is unable to recognize grep and cut so I get stuck there.
I used the --quickstart when creating strapi.
What’s the solution to this?

From what provider are you deploying then? Directly from Windows?
Wouldnt it be more logical to deploy from github or gitbucket?

I followed the documentation found on the strap site. Here’s the link, Heroku Deployment - Strapi Developer Documentation

Could you check if grep is installed as a node package via Strapi’s package.json?
If not, maybe you’d need to install it globally in npm

Another option is to follow this guide

Thats the guide i used to create a deploy ready repository. It doesnt use grep, nor does it sync a local postgress db, but i just start with a deployed strapi instance on Heroku, populate it and while working in my frontend, get the content from the production enviroment.
