While pushing my commits to heroku, "code ETARGET notarget No matching version found for mongodb#0.7.9" - npm-install

Question

I built a localhost website on MacOS using Express, Mongodb. Now I want to deploy it to Heroku server. Here are the commands I used before running into an error
$ git add .
$ git commit -m"Some ms"
$ git push origin master
$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
The error when I push to heroku is

Can anyone help me installing mongoose and deploying to Heroku please?

Answer 1

I fixed this error by changing the version of mongoose from 0.0.5 to ^4.1.12 in package.json. I got the version 0.0.5 when I did $npm install mongoose --save in terminal. I wonder why I got such version when using that command?
