How to create a Spotify App and its credentials

This is required for Authentication at Spotify.

This is how I did it:

1. I already had a Spotify Account of my own. So I didn't need to create one from scratch. But if you don't have it, then create one for youself at Spotify.
2. I logged into Spotify.
3. I went to the Spotify Developer Dashboard and clicked on "CREATE AN APP" as follows:

4. I added an App name and App description, checked the box and clicked on "CREATE" as follows:

5. The Spotify will give your credentials (they will be your ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES later on):

6. I clicked on "EDIT SETTINGS" (previous image) and inserted a value for REDIRECT_URIs, as follows:

7. Then I hit "SAVE", as follows:

That's it.

I have the three things I need:

• CLIENT_ID
• CLIENT_SECRET
• REDIRECT_URI

Now, I need to set these things as ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.
