Download Scripts

For advanced configurations where you need more control over the download process—such as custom storage locations, integration with existing backup systems, or environments where built-in options aren’t available—we provide scripts for multiple platforms:

  • Download-BoundBooks.ps1 (PowerShell 7+) – Multiple accounts with secure credential storage

  • Download-BoundBook.ps1 (PowerShell 7+) – Single account

  • download-boundbook.sh (macOS/Linux) – Single account using cURL

  • download-boundbook.py (Python 3) – Single account, no external dependencies
