Hi Aaron, It took me awhile to figure that one out. Download the precompiled version of mira to look into the bin folder not necessarily to use it. You'll notice that mirabait is just an alias to convert_project. Copy and paste it into your bin folder or make your own and it should work as advertized. It even works on a Mac.
