        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

            var pcaBuilder = PublicClientApplicationBuilder.Create(ClientID)
                .WithRedirectUri("http://localhost")
                .Build();

            AcquireTokenInteractiveParameterBuilder atparamBuilder = pcaBuilder.AcquireTokenInteractive(Scopes);

            AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = atparamBuilder.ExecuteAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
            System.Console.WriteLine(authenticationResult.AccessToken);
        }
