No session secret provided, please set `secret` for apostrophe-express module

Get this error when I try to set admin name and password. Initial site comes up but I’m unable to login as an admin. Full error:

WARNING: No session secret provided, please set the secret property of the session property of the apostrophe-express module in app.js That group does not exist.

I’m running Mac OSX Sierra, Node 3.10.9.

By the way, for those that do not have Homebrew installed on their mac, you also need to run this after installing mongodb: brew tap homebrew/services to get the mongo console to work.

Excuse me, session should be singular.

Ok is added it like this:

var path = require(‘path’);

var apos = require(‘apostrophe’)({ shortName: ‘first-project’,

// See lib/modules for basic project-level configuration of our modules

modules: {

    // Apostrophe module configuration

    // Note: most configuration occurs in the respective

    // However any modules that are not present by default in Apostrophe must at

    'apostrophe-templates': { viewsFolderFallback: path.join(__dirname, 'views') },

    'apostrophe-pages': {
        types: [{
                name: 'default',
                label: 'Default'

        ]
    },

    'apostrophe-express': {
        sessions: {
            secret: 'please make up your own!'
        }
    }


}
