# Download Binary

> Download-binary directly downloads the latest router executable of the appropriate architecture for your system.

## Usage

npx wgc router download-binary

## Description

The latest available router (see [releases](https://github.com/wundergraph/cosmo/releases?q=router\&expanded=true)) of the appropriate architecture will be downloaded to the directory that is specified. The download contents will appear in a folder named "router".
