The aql utility comes in the aerospike-tools package, which is bundled with the server. Have you installed this package?

Hi,

Have you followed the steps for the OS you are installing on? For example on RedHat/CentOS, you would follow [these steps](http://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/install/linux/el6/). The `asinstall` script: `sudo ./asinstall` to be run from the directory where you untared the .tgz archive would install the tools rpm: `aerospike-tools-<version>.el6.x86_64.rpm`.

You can verify whether or not the package is installed (again assuming RedHat/CentOS for this example) by running:

```auto
[vagrant@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep aerospike
aerospike-tools-3.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
aerospike-client-c-devel-3.0.94-1.el6.x86_64
aerospike-server-community-3.4.1-1.el6.x86_64
aerospike-amc-community-3.5.0-el5.x86_64

```

Hope this helps.
