From the definition of oauth 2 above, there is example of providers that is Facebook,GitHub and DigitalOcean. hero enables you to become an oauth 2 provider just like Facebook ,GitHub and DigitalOcean.
This means, hero provides user accounts and also allows limited access to the accounts.Unlike the other options, with hero you have full control of everything.
Hero is a commadline application. It also offers a library that you can use to compose your own version of oauth 2 provider.

You need a configuration file in order to run hero server. The format supported is json. Hero comes with a command to bootstrap a configuration file with default settings, you can use it to customize the values as you fancy.I will explain the configurable details in a moment.
To generate default configuration file, run the following command,
hero genconf [Path to configuration file goes here e.g config.json]
Run the service
hero --mingrate server [config_file_path]
where config_file_path is the path to the configuration file, it doisnt matter if the path is relative or absolute.
It is wise to add the --migrate flag if you are running for the first time so as to prepare the database.
You should see this on your stdout
running migrations...done
starting hero service at http://localhost:8090
