Visit the [developer tools](https://id.getharvest.com/developers) page on
Harvest's website and create a new oauth token

Paste the Client ID you got from the above page in the url of a browser like
`https://id.getharvest.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={OAUTH_CLIENT_ID}&response_type=code`. Now you're
able to login, click 'authorize app' and then are redirected to a url like
this
`https://id.getharvest.com/oauth2/authorize?code={OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN}&scope=all`.
You will use this `OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN` in the following step to configure
the oauth application

Paste the Client ID you got from the above page in the url of a browser like `https://id.getharvest.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={OAUTH_CLIENT_ID}&response_type=code`. Now you're able to login, click 'authorize app' and then are redirected to a url like this `https://id.getharvest.com/oauth2/authorize?code={AUTHORIZATION_CODE}&scope=forecast%3A{ACCOUNT_ID}`. Use the ACCOUNT_ID for the account_id setting. Copy the AUTHORIZATION_CODE into this curl command to get the REFRESH_TOKEN for the refresh_token setting:
```
curl -X POST \
-H "User-Agent: MyApp (yourname@example.com)" \
-d "code=$AUTHORIZATION_CODE" \
-d "client_id=$CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET" \
-d "grant_type=authorization_code" \
'https://id.getharvest.com/api/v2/oauth2/token'
```
