Google Calendar Setup

Before you start, you must setup an account with Google so the app can consume the Google Calendar APIs used by the project. To setup your account, read the Google Calendar API Python Quickstart.

At the conclusion of the Google account setup process, download your Google Calendar API application's credentials.json file, you'll need to copy the file to the Pi Reminder project folder later. Be sure to name the downloaded file using that file name. The project's code uses this file to authorize access your Google Calendar and that file name is hard coded into the project's Python app. The file will contain a big random number in its file name, just rename it to credentials.json.
