4,046 PointsInstalling gem('Devise')
In the Installing Devise section in creating the authentication system I am having trouble installing Devise. I put gem 'devise' in my gem file then entered bundler into the console. Bundler seems to work however the next step the video says that I need to enter the command (rails generate devise:install). This comes up with an error message below:
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/gems/devise-3.2.2/lib/devise/rails/routes.rb:475:in `raise_no_secret_key': Devise.secret_key was not set. Please add the following to your Devise initializer: (RuntimeError)
config.secret_key = 'de5f22489657fe2f53704cfb12eb79497b7bf2a87436ed8403b8e45f2d83f9c680e1483f4d82e3798f67be2d5fbc0c83fc9608139df5ae9c82759c9504e35773'
Please ensure you restarted your application after installing Devise or setting the key. from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/gems/devise-3.2.2/lib/devise/rails/routes.rb:203:in `devise_for'
I am not sure how to fix this. Help would be appreciated!

707 PointsYou probably pasted 'config.secret_key = ' in the wrong place. Add it into file config/initializers/devise.rb ( you'll probably need to create it ). Don't forget about running "rails generate devise:install" command too :)
