Installation (assumes you're on mac osx)

1. Open up Terminal

2. Follow the directions on this (http://python-guide-pt-br.readthedocs.io/en/latest/starting/install3/osx/) page to install homebrew (think of this like a quick package/application manager for OSX) and python3.
It's important that you have python3 (and not python 2.x)

3. With step 2 you have homebrew, python3 and pip3 installed

4. In terminal, copy and paste this:

pip3 install scdl

And press enter. This will install the scdl (soundcloud downloader) tool. From here you can download any 
individual songs/playlists whatever using the commands below but we need to sync up with your account before 
we can download all your likes.

5. Go back to Terminal and type/copy this command:

open ~/.config/scdl

This will open your finder to the config directory for scdl. Right click the file scdl.cfg and open with TextEdit (or sublime 
or any other code friendly editor).

6. Authentication

Now we need to get the auth token to connect to your soundcloud user account...
Get your auth token here: https://dev.vm0.eu/scdl/

Follow the steps until you get a long string of numbers of letter and copy it.

7. Back in the TextEditor you opened paste the auth ID after auth_token=

Save

8. Voila you should be set, back in Terminal try any of these commands to use the tool

# Download track & repost of the user QUANTA
scdl -l https://soundcloud.com/quanta-uk -a

# Download likes of the user Blastoyz
