Can't git aws.push to elastic beanstalk with ruby repo

Question

I've gone through all the steps in the different tutorials.

I've gotten my elastic beanstalk instance to create via +eb init+ and I have set my path correctly.

Then I did a git .init and tried a git aws.push and got the error of :

error: cannot run .git/AWSDevTools/aws.elasticbeanstalk.push: No such file or directory
fatal: While expanding alias 'aws.elasticbeanstalk.push':       
.git/AWSDevTools/aws.elasticbeanstalk.push': No such file or directory

Now I had cloned this project at first from another git repo so I then did an

eb stop 

spun down the instance and then did a

rm -rf .git 

on the working directory to clear out any items that would be left in there from the previous clone.

I then did the

eb init 

again so all the .git info would be re-regenerated

I have even followed the steps from http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Ruby_rails.html and did a

git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit"

then once I tried to do the:

git aws.push 

I was greeted with the same same error message as before.

Granted this is my first beanstalk instance I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here. Are you only allowed to run the git commands from the same directory where you downloaded the CLI to?

UPDATE I did find another link that said to do this step:

sh /home/elasticbeanstalk-cli/AWSDevTools/Linux/AWSDevTools-RepositorySetup.sh

But all that did was give me this message:

sh /home/coder/eb/AWSDevTools/Linux/AWSDevTools-RepositorySetup.sh 
/home/coder/eb/AWSDevTools/Linux/AWSDevTools-RepositorySetup.sh: 18:      
/home/coder/eb/AWSDevTools/Linux/AWSDevTools-RepositorySetup.sh: Bad substitution

OS: Linux (Ubuntu / LTS 12.04)

It says that the file does not exists, but the error is caused because ruby is not installed. So if you are using Linux (Ubuntu), you should install it using this command:

sudo apt-get install ruby

That worked for me.
