Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
Clone node-red repo: git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red.git
Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/cyrillef/node-red-node-forge.git

Please clarify where and how you put in your client_id and client_secret

From the video example it is not completely clear how/where you specify the client_id or the client_secret, it seems like you do it before you use node-red, but that is not very clear explained.

Is it also possible to do the forge authentication within forge? I tried this for a few hours now, but cannot get it up and running.

You can either create a generic credential node, or attach credentials to each nodes. In both case you need to create a credential configuration. See the steps here https://youtu.be/4YOS8r_Dn0o?t=934 - it contains the basics steps to configure credential nodes, and the authentication. Note I am using system variables to have my key, but you may want to copy paste them instead.
