Beginner: cakephp 3.6 installing cakedc/users

I am trying to set up CakeDC/users on a freshly set up App. I have changed app.php config file to point to correct database (works) From CMD I have done the following:

cd c:\xampp\htdocs

php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app MyAppName

cd c:\xampp\htdocs\MyAppName

php composer.phar require cakedc/users

Then in bootstrap.php:

Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']);
Plugin::load('CakeDC/Users', ['routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true]);

(I am not using any social media)

Then in AppcController.php

public function initialize()
    {
        parent::initialize();

        $this->loadComponent('RequestHandler', ['enableBeforeRedirect' => false]);
        $this->loadComponent('Flash');                
        $this->loadComponent('CakeDC/Users.UsersAuth');

    }

At the end of all of this, when I run the app (using XAMPP with Apache), I get errors which seem to be saying that cakephp cannot find the plugin controller files as it is looking in the wrong place:

Could not load configuration file: C:\xampp\htdocs\MyAppName\config\users.php

It seems to be saying that users.php cannot be found in the app/config folder, but that it is because it is in the config folder for the plugin.

Has anyone met this problem, and can suggest what I am doing wrong. I am sure it is something simple, and stupid (on my part).

Thanks

Remove this line Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']); or add your own users.php configuration with overrides if needed.

Check the related docs entry here https://github.com/CakeDC/users/blob/master/Docs/Documentation/Installation.md#customization

As an example you can copy the original user.php

cp -i vendor/cakedc/users/config/users.php config/

In my bootstrap.php I have this

Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']);
Plugin::load('CakeDC/Users', ['routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true]);
