https://github.com/Melvin-Abraham/Google-Assistant-Unofficial-Desktop-Client/wiki/Setup-Authentication-for-Google-Assistant-Unofficial-Desktop-Client

Other References

If you want a user friendly registration method, use Device Registration UI:

If you want to use a CLI tool to complete the Device Registration and Authentication process manually, read the following:

After you have registered your device and downloaded the required authentication files, you can head on to Settings and set the "Key File Path" and "Saved Tokens Path" to the location where the respective files are located.
