I have set up a RoR environement on AWS' elastic beanstalk. I am able to ssh into my EC2 instance. My home directory is /home/ec2-user, which is effectively empty. If I move up a directory, there is also a /home/webapp directory that i do not have access to.

Is there a way to run a rake command or rails console on my elastic beanstalk instance?

If I type rails console I get Usage: rails new APP_PATH [options] If I type RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console, I get "Could not locate Gemfile"
