Where to generate next auth secret for next auth

Question

The documentation for NextAuth.js says that I can generate a secret for next auth by entering this command:

openssl rand -base64 32

Here is the documentation: https://next-auth.js.org/configuration/options#nextauth_secret

However, when I enter the command in the terminal within VS code I get this error.

I'm trying to run this command on Windows.

And then choose Bash:

And just run script in Bash

PS: You can have multiple terminals open at once which is helpful sometimes
