I want to move to another directory in Node.js command prompt but when I open the Node.js cmd window it doesn't show me any path. Here is the screenshot of the Node.js cmd window:
Now if i want to change directory to D:\abc then how can i do it here?
That isn't the Node.js command prompt window. That is a language shell to run JavaScript commands, also known as a REPL.
In Windows, there should be a Node.js command prompt in your Start menu or start screen:
Which will open a command prompt window that looks like this:
From there you can switch directories using the cd command.
C:\Test. When I ran >C: it changed the directory to C:\Program Files\nodejs that is the install directory of nodejs on my Windows 10. I than ran cd c:\Test and it changed the command line path to c:\Test>.To switch to the another directory process.chdir("../");
process.chdir("..")).If you mean to change default directory for "Node.js command prompt", when you launch it, then (Windows case)
change the default path in the row which looks like
if "%CD%\"=="%~dp0" cd /d "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"
with your path. It could be for example
if "%CD%\"=="%~dp0" cd /d "c://MyDirectory/"
if you mean to change directory once when you launched "Node.js command prompt", then execute the following command in the Node.js command prompt:
cd c:/MyDirectory/
Add the \d [dir] attribute to the cd command like this:
cd \d %yourdir%:\
nodevars.bat"%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% /file1/file2/file3nodevars.batThis work even with Swedish words
OR IF YOU GUYS ARE ON WINDOWS . YOU CAN USE POWER SHELL .... IT WORKS THE SAME WAY
YOU CAN USE cd d:/ TO CHANGE DIRECTORY ...
Type .exit in command prompt window, It terminates the node repl.
.help will show you all the options. Do .exit in this case
