How to run cd command/change the folder path from ruby script

Question

I am trying to run a command from ruby script. I got stuck in changing the folder path. Below is the command that I wrote. Can anyone let me know how to go ahead?

system("cd /home/user/Source/pxe/")

I want the terminal to point to the folder pxe when I run the ruby script. Is the code above correct? If not, can you let me know what the correct way is to call the cd command from ruby script?

Answer 1

Do you want to change current directory for the script? Use Dir.chdir.

Dir.chdir('/home/user/Source/pxe')
