Hmm... how did you install it on Linux? via cargo install spotify-tui?

This app does work on Linux (I've tested myself), however I've only published a binary for macOS so the homebrew installation will only work on macOS.

At which point do you get that error?

I'm getting the same problem. I installed from cargo on Ubuntu 19.04

It seems to be at the very last step. I logged in to my Spotify dev console and got my id and secret and added the redirect URL. Then I ran spt. I entered my info and it opened a login page in my browser. I clicked "Log in with Facebook" and it redirected me to http://localhost:8888/callback?code=... but I can't connect to localhost. Chrome says:

This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.

Try

Checking the connection

Checking the proxy and the firewall

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I know that the connection/proxy/firewall isn't the issue because I connect to localhost:8888 all the time (and yes I checked nothing else was trying to serve on that port at the time)

I tried manually changing it to https as well and that didn't work either

I installed it with cargo. I runned the app in the same way as @QuinnFreedman. minibuffer.lisp opened Spotify login page, I clicked the facebook login. Returned "connection refused" after success login with facebook. OS: ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

I just had this same issue, although it isn't really an issue. You will be redirected to a page that doesn't exist (hence connection refused). Just copy paste the url you are redirected to into stdin (as spt instructs you do to after you close the page) and things should work. Perhaps the instructions should be made a little more clear though.

Exactly @alxdb.
I will explore creating a localhost server for a small webpage to land you on after the redirect.
It definitely feels wrong landing on a page that says it's not loading.
