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. 

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'.
