+### `download_cmix_binaries.sh`
+
+The script [`download_cmix_binaries.sh`](./download_cmix_binaries.sh) accepts an optional flag that
+specifies which platform to download the binaries for. If no flag is specified,
+then the script defaults to the Linux binaries. Refer to the table below for
+details on the flags.

+|Long flag|Short flag|Effect|
+|---|---|---|
+|linux|l|downloads the Linux binaries|
+|mac|m|downloads the Mac binaries|

+A second argument can be provided which changes where the script downloads from.
+By default it downloads from a public bucket which includes release and master builds.

+will not require additional steps like `download_cmix_binaries.sh`, it will use up more
+local storage. This will download binaries from release by default.

+If you want to build and run custom binaries off of custom branches, you may create a branch in

+You will need to add a personal access token to your environment vars to download binaries via the
