Did you add the callback URI in your app's settings on the developer.spotify.com app dashboard?

I did not, I will do that now. I just installed the application and the redirect when I opened it gave that error message.

You might have figured it out by now but here are the instructions from the README:

Connecting to Spotify’s API

spotify-tui needs to connect to Spotify’s API in order to find music by
name, play tracks etc.

Instructions on how to set this up will be shown when you first run the app.

But here they are again:

Go to the Spotify dashboard
Click Create a Client ID and create an app
Now click Edit Settings
Add http://localhost:8888/callback to the Redirect URIs
You are now ready to authenticate with Spotify!
Go back to the terminal
Run spt
Enter your Client ID
Enter your Client Secret
You will be redirected to an official Spotify webpage to ask you for permissions.
After accepting the permissions, you'll be redirected to localhost. If all goes well, the redirect URL will be parsed automatically and now you're done. If the local webserver fails for some reason you'll be redirected to a blank webpage that might say something like "Connection Refused" since no server is running. Regardless, copy the URL and paste into the prompt in the terminal.

And now you are ready to use the spotify-tui 🎉

You can edit the config at anytime at ${HOME}/.config/spotify-tui/client.yml.
