* Log in as the user who will be the owner of the app.
* [https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps]
* Click '''Create Another App...'''
** Fill out the form.
** Select '''personal use script''' if this app will run locally. This can't be changed later and the authentication is different for each kind of app, so a web app's credentials can't be used in a script app context.
** Click '''Save App''' to generate a Client Id and Client Secret for the app.

The Client Id is displayed in the list of apps. The secret can be retrieved by clicking the '''Edit''' link by the app in the listings.
