Actually Download File from S3 bucket to local machine

I am trying to get an s3 file from my bucket using the following function:

async Export()
{
const myKey = '...key...'
const mySecret = '...secret...'
AWS.config.update(
{
accessKeyId: myKey,
secretAccessKey: mySecret
}
);

var s3 = new AWS.S3();

s3.getObject({
Bucket: '...bucket...',
Key: '...filepath...'
},
function(error, data)
{
if (error != null)
{
alert("Failed to retrieve object: " + error)
}
else {
alert("Loaded " + data.ContentLength + " bytes")
}
})
}


and the message telling me that I have loaded a file of some number of bytes. However, the main goal is to get the file onto my local machine, would I need to have some sort of file stream going on here or something?
