To install and authenticate app you need to provide the following:

Note: Personal access tokens (PATs) are an alternative to using passwords for authentication to GitHub. As a security precaution, GitHub automatically removes personal access tokens that haven't been used in a year. So, we recommend you to create a separate token for the marketplace app.
Steps to create token:
1. After signing up for an account, verify your email address, if you haven't yet.
2. In the upper-right corner of any page, click on your profile picture, and then click on Settings.
3. On the left sidebar, click on Developer settings.
4. On the left sidebar, click on Personal access tokens.
5. Click on Generate new token.
6. Give your token a descriptive name.
7. Select the scopes or permissions you'd like to grant this token and click ‘Generate token’.
Required Scopes:
8. Click the copy icon to copy the token to your clipboard. For security reasons, once you navigate from the page, you will not be able to see the token again.
Required Membership Plan:
All actions listed work with GitHub Free Plan or Higher.
