##Installation

First, get the code and its dependencies. (ffmpeg isn't bundled - you'll need to make sure that's installed yourself.)

git clone git@github.com:psobot/mp3toyoutube.git && cd mp3toyoutube
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, spend a couple boring minutes to generate your API keys at the Google:

• developer_key can be generated at: https://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard/gwt/index.html
• client_id, client_secret and redirect_uris can be created at https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_oauth2#OAuth2_Register
  • Note: mp3toyoutube is an local app, so you'll need to choose "Installed Application" when creating a Client ID in the Google OAuth control panel.

Finally, add those keys to a file called apikeys.yml:

mv apikeys.yml.sample apikeys.yml
vim apikeys.yml

And you're done!
