 # Apollo Backend
 
+## Mandatory for running tests ´
+Create a .env file in the root backend folder and add a secret JWTSECRET for signing the JWT token (e.g. JWTSECRET=yoursecret)
+For easy use, you can use the already existing .env.template, renaming the file to .env (e.g. cp .env.template .env) and modifying the secret.
