Answer 1

Your Jenkins setup has a different path than the user you logged in with.

There are two solutions:

1. Add the path to the executable in the PATH environment variable. Use where eb to find the correct path. Then in Jenkins, click on Manage Jenkins -> Configure System, Global Properties. Check Environment Variables. Set Name to PATH. Set Value to $PATH:/path/to/eb. Then restart Jenkins.

2. Call the eb command with its fully qualified path.

EDIT: Added steps to update path in Jenkins.

Answer 2

this is now fixed, need to create a properties file that was basically a copy of /var/lib/jenkins/.bash_profile file which would have the correct paths and add that in Jenkins settings. Allowing it to get the required paths. After properties file is created you need to set it on Jenkins-Configure section, Place a check on Prepare jobs environment then set the full path of the properties file (/var/lib/jenkins/environment_variables.properties) on the Properties File Path and restart Jenkins
