Built a gem but when tried it gives an error that command not found

Hi I have built a CLI Ruby gem.

If i try to run it through git repo, it works perfectly fine. But if I try to install a gem and run it, it gives me an error that command not found.

Error message..

 popular_deals                                                                                                                                                          
-su: popular_deals: command not found

A friend of mine also tried, he got this error message

Please report a bug if this causes problems.

I was able to get it to work by doing the following. I think that in your original answer you were executing popular_deals, when the command is actually popular-deals and not the same as the name of the gem!

mkdir deals_test
cd deals_test
# Contents shown below
touch Gemfile
bundle
bundle exec popular-deals

Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'popular_deals'

I'm using MRI 2.3.3
