How to use "impressionist" gem in Rails?

I am new to rails dev and is looking to use https://github.com/charlotte-ruby/impressionist but not able to figure out how to use it looking at its documentation. I have done the migration and when trying to put 

class ArticlesController < InheritedResources::Base
  impressionist
end

OR 

class ArticlesController < InheritedResources::Base
  impressionist :actions=>[:show,:index]
end

it is throwing no method found error. I am unsure which code needs to be put in model, which to be in controller and which to be in views to see view_count, any help ?

You can also use Impression as a model to query stuff, just like normal models. For example,

Impression.where(user_id: 12).length

I find this is handy if you need some advanced queries.

The documentation does not specify to re-start server. This is not obvious as it does not apply to all gems, however it is required for impressionist.

the first question was a type

and as for your second question (inside the comment) the easiest but very efficient way would be

 in the view:
 <% @pages.each do |page| %>
   <%= page.impressionist_count %> 
 <% end %>
