Static File configuration Amazon S3

I followed the below url to move my static files to Amazon S3.

http://blog.doismellburning.co.uk/2012/07/14/using-amazon-s3-to-host-your-django-static-files/

and here is my static configuration in settings.py

    if not DEBUG:
        INSTALLED_APPS += ('storages',)
        AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = os.environ['mybucket']
        STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
        STATIC_URL = 'http://%s.s3.amazonaws.com/'%AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
    else:
        STATIC_URL = '/static/'


STATIC_ROOT = ''

# Additional locations of static files
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    ('assets',os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, '../static')),
)

after this when I try

python manage.py collectstatic

I get the following message

Unknown command: 'collectstatic'

what could be the issue. I haven't set the Aws Access Key., Secret Key anywhere.

Add the staticfiles app to the installed apps.

'django.contrib.staticfiles',

The collectstatic is managed by the above app.
