# Imageio command line scripts

This page lists the command line scripts provided by imageio. To see all options for a script, execute it with the `--help` option, e.g. `imageio_download_bin --help`.

- `imageio_download_bin`: Download binary dependencies for imageio plugins to the users application data directory. This script accepts the parameter `--package-dir` which will download the binaries to the directory where imageio is installed. This option is useful when freezing an application with imageio. It is supported out-of-the-box by PyInstaller version>=3.2.2.

- `imageio_remove_bin`: Remove binary dependencies of imageio plugins from all directories managed by imageio. This script is useful when there is a corrupt binary or when the user prefers the system binary over the binary provided by imageio.
