Rails: my .env file in the root of my rails app isn't loading

I have an .env file in the root of my app. But I'm getting errors like these in the console. Carrierwave works and fog works if I just inpute the the info into but I don't want to do that. This is still in development and not in production mode yet and I'm getting errors.

Why isn't the .env file being picked up? 

/config/initializers/carrierwave.rb:9: syntax error, unexpected tCONSTANT, expecting keyword_end (SyntaxError)
  config.fog_directory  = 'ENV['AWS_BUCKET']'

I had assumed that I had to place a aws.rb file into the config/initializers but that produced errors.

.env:

export AWS_BUCKET=jakesfolder
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=324fsdf454gd...
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=ghrth454g...

CarrierWave.rb:

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.fog_credentials = {
      :provider               => 'AWS',
      :aws_access_key_id      => ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
      :aws_secret_access_key  => ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
      :endpoint               => "https://s3.amazonaws.com",
      :region                 => ENV['AWS_REGION'] 
  }
  config.fog_directory  = 'ENV['AWS_BUCKET']'
end

Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'

In your CarrierWave.rb file, change:

config.fog_directory  = 'ENV['AWS_BUCKET']'

to:

config.fog_directory  = ENV['AWS_BUCKET']

Your extra ' s are creating problems and you are getting syntax error on that line. So, just remove those and it should work.

Update

Use this configuration for your CarrierWave.rb file:

CarrierWave.configure do |config|
  config.fog_credentials = {
      provider:                'AWS',
      aws_access_key_id:       ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'],
      aws_secret_access_key:   ENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'],
      endpoint:                "https://s3.amazonaws.com",
      region:                  ENV['AWS_REGION']
  }
  config.fog_directory  = ENV['AWS_BUCKET']
end

And, put all of your export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=324fsdf454gd... in your ~/.bashrc file.
