Can't connect to OAuth 2.0 with PHP

Question

I have a site where I would like to show all visitors some data from my Google Analytics account (unique page views from separate countries). As far as I'm concerned it is possible to do this with OAuth 2.0 and Google Analytics API. I would like the authentication to be automated, so that whoever comes to my site can view this data, not just me who can log in to my Google Analytics account.

What I've done

Made a project with Google Developers Console.
Changed Analytics API to ON.
Created a service account.
Generated API key for both server- and browser applications (don't know which and where to use exactly).
Downloaded Google APIs Client Library for PHP.
Uploaded the .p12 key that was downloaded when I created a service account, uploaded it to my site and linked to it in google-api-php-client-master/examples/service-account.php.
Declared my service account client id in google-api-php-client-master/examples/service-account.php.

Issues

In google-api-php-client-master/examples/service-account.php there's this piece of code which I don't quite understand:

$service_account_name = '';

what should I declare here?

When I have done all the above and loaded the page google-api-php-client-master/examples/service-account.php on my site, I get these two errors:

Warning: You need to set Client ID, Email address and the location of the Key from the Google API console

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_grant" }'' in /home/texterx1/public_html/google-api-php-client-master/src/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php:327 Stack trace: #0 /home/texterx1/public_html/google-api-php-client-master/src/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php(289): Google_Auth_OAuth2->refreshTokenRequest(Array) #1 /home/texterx1/public_html/google-api-php-client-master/examples/service-account.php(75): Google_Auth_OAuth2->refreshTokenWithAssertion(Object(Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials)) #2 {main} thrown in /home/texterx1/public_html/google-api-php-client-master/src/Google/Auth/OAuth2.php on line 327

What have I done wrong?

Ok the first thing you need to do is grab the Email address on developer console for your app that was created along with the app.

1046123799103-nk421gjc2v8mlr2qnmmqaak04ntb1dbp@developer.gserviceaccount.com

Login to your GA go to the admin section for the account you want the Service account to access. You need to give that email account Access at the account level just give them Read and analyze.

<?php
session_start();
require_once 'Google/Client.php';
require_once 'Google/Service/Analytics.php';
// Values from APIs console for your app    
$client_id = 'Client ID';
$service_account_name = 'Email address';
$key_file_location = 'The file you downloaded';

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName("Client_Library_Examples");
if (isset($_SESSION['service_token'])) {
        $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['service_token']);
    }
    $key = file_get_contents($key_file_location);

    $cred = new Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials(
        $service_account_name,
        array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly'),
        $key
        );
    $client->setAssertionCredentials($cred);
    if($client->getAuth()->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
        $client->getAuth()->refreshTokenWithAssertion($cred);
    }
    $_SESSION['service_token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
    $service = new Google_Service_Analytics($client);  
    $accounts = $service->management_accountSummaries->listManagementAccountSummaries();

   foreach ($accounts->getItems() as $item) {
    echo "Account: ",$item['name'], "  " , $item['id'], "<br /> \n";

    foreach($item->getWebProperties() as $wp) {
    echo '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WebProperty: ' ,$wp['name'], "  " , $wp['id'], "<br /> \n";    

    $views = $wp->getProfiles();
    if (!is_null($views)) {
    foreach($wp->getProfiles() as $view) {
        //  echo '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;View: ' ,$view['name'], "  " , $view['id'], "<br /> \n";    
    }
                }
            }
        }
