How to run on Heroku

Heroku requires the following buildpacks

1. https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-apt (APT has been deprecated and is no longer needed)
2. heroku/python
3. https://github.com/bayareacoder/heroku-buildpack-tesseract The third buildpack handles installing tesseract version 4.1

It also requires the Redis-To-Go Dyno

Everything else is setup within the folder, so you just have to connect to the folder to a Heroku app and push. To do this, follow the instructions here!
