Creating a .NET secret using SecretManager

I'm working with Visual Studio 2015 RC and following a tutorial for adding Facebook auth. It says to store the Facebook App Id as a secret using the SecretManager app:

"Set the Facebook AppId by running user-secret set Authentication:Facebook:AppId 862373430475128"

I am not quite grasping how to install the SecretManager, or how to access it from a command line. I'm used to VS2010 and so the dnvm/dnu stuff is totally new to me. Here's what I've tried:

Can someone provide a simple set of steps to get to where I can use the "user-secret" command?

UPDATE: After manually adding the dnu tool to my Path and running 

dnu commands install SecretManager

I got the following command line output:

GET https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?Id='SecretManager'.
OK https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?Id='SecretManager' 595ms

I know how to install nuGet packages for a specific app, but I'm less clear on how the global tools concept works. I'm currently on VS 2010, so this is mostly new to me.

See https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/601 . A user there had the same issue with SecretManager and his solution (editing the dependency version at C:\Users\myname.dnx\bin\packages\SecretManager\1.0.0-beta4\app) worked for me.

I'm still not 100% clear on why I had to manually set up the PATH to the dnu tool, but I'm guessing that the community edition is just missing the VS command prompt and other items.
