Start by registering a new Spotify application. Copy the generated SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET.
The first alternative is to set them in the current environment:
$ export SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID='<client id>'
$ export SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET='<client secret>'The second alternative is to put the keys in a file, named .env:
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID='<client id>'
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET='<client secret>'It will be automatically read when spotify-tools is run.
The third alternative is to pass the keys as arguments to spotify-tools. This is less secure, because keys will be persisted in your shell history.
