Rails friendly_id gem; Could not find generator 'friendly_id'

Question

I am running Rails 5.1.5.rc1 and Ruby 2.5.0. Just added the friendly_id gem (gem 'friendly_id', '~> 5.1.0') to my gemfile and ran bundle install. I then ran rails generate friendly_id

Immediately I get the error "Could not find generator 'friendly_id'. Maybe you meant 'helper', 'channel' or 'mailer' Run rails generate --help for more options."

I can see that the gem was installed.

Anyone know how to solve this or what the issue might be?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Did you tried bundle install after adding gem ? – sam Feb 08 '18 at 08:27 — sam, Feb 08 '18 at 08:27
Just in case, try `bundle exec rails g friendly_id` – yoones Feb 08 '18 at 08:28 — yoones, Feb 08 '18 at 08:28
