Amazon AWS upload-server-certificate format

I have a website hosted on Amazon elasticbeanstalk and now I need to configure it for https and SSL. I have completed the first step from the link below "Create a custom domain with your DNS provider":

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/configuring-https.html

So now my amazon elasticbeanstalk site, example.elasticbeanstalk.com has custom domain example.com (I used Amazon Route 53 for this).

I am now performing step 2 from link above and following instructions given at the following link:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/InstallCert.html

I have created privatekey.pem and server.crt which I need to upload to Amazon IAM. I need help in typing the format for the following command to upload to IAM. My privatekey.pem and server.crt are located at Users/Kash on my MAC

aws iam upload-server-certificate --server-certificate-name CertificateName --certificate-body file://public_key_certificate_file --private-key file://privatekey.pem

I typed the following but get error "keywords must be strings"

aws iam upload-server-certificate --server-certificate-name "TestCert" --certificate-body file://server.crt --private-key file://privatekey.pem

I am not familiar with typing commands on terminal and need help

The error is referring to the quotation marks at your "TestCert" certificate name. There should be no quotation marks, as follows:

aws iam upload-server-certificate --server-certificate-name TestCert --certificate-body file://server.crt --private-key file://privatekey.pem

Hope this helps!
