How to run seed rb file on Amazon ec2

Question

Recently I hosted my Ruby on Rails application on Amazon EC2 using Elastic Beanstalk. Everything works fine except my seeds.rb file. My seeds.rb file is not executed at the time of hosting. I am using ActiveAdmin also and I define first admin on my seeds.rb file.

How can I create first admin user on Amazon by rails console? Is there any way to open Rails Console on Amazon EC2 ? I am trying to do this using putty but don't know how to do this. Please give me some pointers..

To gain access to the Amazon instance, you must first construct a keypair (which I think you already have). Make that ssh access is enabled in the security group you've chosen. Then, assuming you're running the app in a staging environment, cd into the app directory and run bundle exec rake db:seed RAILS ENV='staging'.
