##Explore

If you would like to explore the code and run it on your local machine, you will need to obtain your own tokens to access the Discogs API. Go here and click "Create an App."" Once you obtain your tokens, you will need to store them in a secure place accessible to the app. One option for doing that is described here. Make sure you have Ruby 2.2.0 and Node 0.10.x installed. Once you have Discog access tokens, do the following:
