# get

## Description

* Get a mobile application binary from the binary store

## Syntax

`ern binarystore get <descriptor> <outDir>`

**Arguments**

`<descriptor>`

* A complete native application descriptor (ex: `myapp:android:1.0.0`), representing the native application version associated to this binary.

`<outDir>`

* Relative or absolute path to a directory where the binary will be transfered to. If the directory does not exist, it will be ecreated.

## Remarks

* This command will only work if the following conditions are met:
  * A binary store server is running
  * There is an active Cauldron
  * The active Cauldron contains proper configuration of the binary store
* If a binary for the same native application version already exists in `outDir`, it will be replaced
* The binary will be named as follow `[mobile-app-name]:[platform]:[version].[ext]`\
  For example, for `myapp:android:1.0.0`, the binary filename will be `myapp-android-1.0.0.apk`. For `myapp:ios:1.0.0` it will be `myapp-ios-1.0.0.app`.
