        Oh, great! Another noob needs help configuring the Compliments module. I’ve sussed through this for two days trying to get this up and running to earn ‘cool dad points.’ I’ve followed along and made changes to the config.js file as described. When I run ‘npm start’ I get the following: ```
        code_text

        What am I looking at? And how can I correct? Bear with a middle aged noob. You might have to explain this in crayon. Thanks for the help.

            @KC5RIL > Unexpected identifier

            90% of the time this means a comma missing on the line above

                  @Mykle1 Here’s the code. Figured this seemed like a popular spot to wet my feet. If I could get through this, I could set the rest up.

                  {

                  While ya’ll are looking at that, I’ll check the troubleshooting section. Thanks

                      Okay! It’s coming together for me. I’m catching a couple more syntax errors. I’ll keep proofing to see if I catch more.
