This version of this tool doesn't work as far as I can tell.
Firstly, I could only install at all using the Python3 version of pip. Then the executable isn't on the path unless you install with sudo. Then running it gives Something went wrong--the token is invalid..
I have documented the whole process end-to-end on my blog. That post also contains the history and gives a way of using an app that doesn't require any of the messing around that this application does.
