 The ``output_graph.pb`` model file generated in the above step will be loaded in memory to be dealt with when running inference.
 This will result in extra loading time and memory consumption. One way to avoid this is to directly read data from the disk.

-To download the pre-built binaries for the ``deepspeech`` command-line (compiled C++) client, use ``util/taskcluster.py``\ :
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   python3 util/taskcluster.py --target .
-
-or if you're on macOS:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   python3 util/taskcluster.py --arch osx --target .
-
-also, if you need some binaries different than current master, like ``v0.2.0-alpha.6``\ , you can use ``--branch``\ :
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-   python3 util/taskcluster.py --branch "v0.2.0-alpha.6" --target "."
-
-The script ``taskcluster.py`` will download ``native_client.tar.xz`` (which includes the ``deepspeech`` binary and associated libraries) and extract it into the current folder. Also, ``taskcluster.py`` will download binaries for Linux/x86_64 by default, but you can override that behavior with the ``--arch`` parameter. See the help info with ``python util/taskcluster.py -h`` for more details. Specific branches of DeepSpeech or TensorFlow can be specified as well.
