rebar generate fails after compile successes

I am new to rebar and try to create a demo app to understand the flow. I have downloaded rebar & ran bootstrap. I created a project according to this manual: justenough-otp1

when I run the compile it compiles all the files and when it runs it. when i try to generate the app it gives me the following error:

WARN:  'generate' command does not apply to directory /users/olive/poznov/Downloads/rebar-master/learn/apps
Command 'generate' not understood or not applicable

i tried to run

./rebar generate

from both the parent folder and apps folder (of course changing the path in the rebar.config file)

any ideas what might cause the problem?

The generate command is used to build a release. It is much more than a simple application: it contains the VM, your application and all the libraries and dependencies needed. So it needs some more information to be generated. You can look at Erlang rebar tutorial: generating releases and upgrades or LYSE release with reltool for more information (learning from the Eralang documentation is much more difficult)
