Help with "Set up local environment variables." about google-photos-deduper HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @anthonyjclarke,

You should be able to open the client secret file with a text editor and see something like this JSON structure:

{
  "web": {
    "client_id": "asdfjasdljfasdkjf",
    "client_secret": "1912308409123890",
    "redirect_uris": ["https://www.example.com/oauth2callback"],
    "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
  }
}

In this example, your GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID is asdfjasdljfasdkjf and your GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET is 1912308409123890.

Alternatively, these are also available for me in the Google Cloud Console under APIs & Services > Credentials once you click on an entry in the OAuth 2.0 Client IDs list.

I also want to acknowledge this setup is very involved, and prevents most people from using the tool! This setup is what I could scrap together with the limited time I am able to set aside for this project.

In the future I'd like to provide a hosted web app that avoids all this. Unfortunately, it requires a bigger time investment than I'm currently able to make.

Thanks. I've taken my time and done very slowly and cautiously. Nearly there.
