This application needs to be authorized to access your facebook account.

Step 1: Allow basic (initial) access to your acount via this url:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=42463270450&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html

to launch this page, execute: fbcmd go access

Step 2: Generate an offline authorization code at this url:

to launch this page, execute: fbcmd go auth

obtain your authorization code (XXXXXX) and then execute: fbcmd auth XXXXXX

Then I typed the command :

$ fbcmd go access

Once I pressed okay, I was redirected to a URL which said that this URL is your password.

I saved the URL and then executed the following command :

Hitting the generate button generated a code that is needed by the command line application. Then I executed the following command :
