Rake Aborted! Downloaded the code from github

I downloaded the treebook app provided by JasonSeifer from github to check it out. I did all the bundle installs but when I tried to run rails server it shows me an error that no secret key has been provided ##### The error #### SECURITY WARNING: No secret option provided to Rack::Session::Cookie. This poses a security threat. It is strongly recommended that you provide a secret to prevent exploits that may be possible from crafted cookies. This will not be supported in future versions of Rack, and future versions will even invalidate your existing user cookies.###

That should just be a warning, Rohit Begani. Were there any other error messages that you saw?
