+Application not supported by 'heroku/nodejs' buildpack

+
+A Node.js app on Heroku requires a 'package.json' at the root of
+the directory structure.
+
+If you are trying to deploy a Node.js application, ensure that this
+file is present at the top level directory. This directory has the
+following files:
+
+$(ls -1p $1)
+
+If you are trying to deploy an application written in another
+language, you need to change the list of buildpacks set on your
+Heroku app using the 'heroku buildpacks' command.

+For more information, refer to the following documentation:
+https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks
