  7. Rename the key file to gcp-oauth.keys.json and place into the root of this repo (i.e. servers/gcp-oauth.keys.json)

Make sure to build the server with either npm run build or npm run watch.

Authentication

To authenticate and save credentials:

  1. Run the server with the auth argument: node ./dist auth
