Can I get the step by step process for downloading images from Google drive using the service account via Node.js

Question

I'm building a automation test script and I want to overcome the authentication process so that the script doesn't need manual intervention of Tokens getting added during the execution.

I need the step by step process for downloading images from Google drive using the service account via Node.js. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you checked the documentation? manage downloads

var fileId = '0BwwA4oUTeiV1UVNwOHItT0xfa2M';
var dest = fs.createWriteStream('/tmp/photo.jpg');
drive.files.get({
  fileId: fileId,
  alt: 'media'
})
    .on('end', function () {
      console.log('Done');
    })
    .on('error', function (err) {
      console.log('Error during download', err);
    })
    .pipe(dest);
