AWS Ruby SDK V2: Aws error command not found

I am using cloud9 with ruby on rails, I have just installed the AWS-SDK and was following the amazon documents to set it up (Listed below).

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-ruby/latest/DeveloperGuide/aws-ruby-sdk-getting-started.html#aws-ruby-sdk-credentials-client

But on the second step which is just to run Aws.config I am getting a Aws command not found error.

I tried with capital letter ect but it is not recognizing AWS.

I was thinking it may possibly be the directory I am in but there is nothing saying I should be in anything but the root directory for my applications. None of he other gems have this problem byt since I am using cloud9 I thought I would check. I have included the director for the gem below if you think this may be the issue:

/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/gems/aws-sdk-2.3.1

This is the output from my console with the top line showing aws-sdk-core 2.3.1 is installed and the errors at the bottom when I try to enter aws into the console.

Using aws-sdk-core 2.3.1
    Using rails-deprecated_sanitizer 1.0.3
    Using globalid 0.3.6
    Using activemodel 4.2.5
    Using jbuilder 2.4.1
    Using rails-html-sanitizer 1.0.3
    Using aws-sdk-resources 2.3.1
    Using rails-dom-testing 1.0.7

You can use irb it's pretty cool for check fast things with ruby.

% irb
>> require 'aws-sdk'
=> true
>> aws = Aws.new()

Just play with aws-sdk , you will need to create credentials and more for the aws resources.

The aws-sdk gem (that allows you to access aws services from inside your ruby programs) and the aws cli (which provides command line access to aws) are two completely separate pieces of software. Installing the gem doesn't install the cli for you
