# truss download

> Download the Truss for a deployed model.

```sh theme={"system"}
truss download [OPTIONS]
```

Downloads the Truss for a deployed model as a tar file or extracts it into a directory. Use this to inspect the exact configuration and code that is running for a deployment, or to recover a Truss when the original source is unavailable.

You must pass exactly one of `--out-file` or `--out-dir`.

Download a Truss as a tar file:

```sh theme={"system"}
truss download --model-id YOUR_MODEL_ID --deployment-id YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_ID --out-file my-truss.tar
```

Extract a Truss into a directory:

```sh theme={"system"}
truss download --model-id YOUR_MODEL_ID --deployment-id YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_ID --out-dir ./my-truss
```

Overwrite an existing tar file:

```sh theme={"system"}
truss download --model-id YOUR_MODEL_ID --deployment-id YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_ID --out-file my-truss.tar --overwrite
```
