Set up deployment of loklak_webclient on Heroku

[mariobehling]

Currently the main loklak deployment on Heroku is broken. Please set up a deployment on your Heroku account and do the necessary. Once it is working we can do the same for the automatic deployment from the repo.

@mariobehling Can you please explain the issue? Is it regarding adding a script to automatically deploy the application on Heroku?

[abishekvashok]

@mariobehling, working on it I will send a link of the app once I deploy it to heroku. Then we can move on with automatic deployment.

@mariobehling giving up, we can't deploy to heroku now, the web-client is not correctlyinstalled, ./install_heroku.sh return random errors after fixing one after other. Further the packages, dependencies used etc are really out of dat. We would nee a great amount of code refractor

Ok I'm on it

I've followed all the procedures and steps for building the webclient.
i.e setting up the api credentials, the apiURL, the loklak_server here which actually gets built and is working .
next running the node server at iframely, basically all of it.

However, whenever I run gulp dev as the final step I get this error

gulp dev
/home/shikhar/Desktop/fossasiaLoklak/loklak_webclient/node_modules/karma/node_modules/socket.io/lib/store.js:35
Store.prototype.__proto__ = EventEmitter.prototype;
                                         ^

Also the tests for youtube-scraper are failing everytime

@Shikhar-CS this is because of old node modules and a new node, updating will lead to other errors though.
