`sbt run` from outside the project directory

Question

When I want to run my Scala project, I cd to the project directory and do

$ sbt "run arg1" 

How can I do the same operation from outside the project directory?

Answer 1

My answer is inpired by this more general question: How do I run a program with a different working directory from current, from Linux shell?

(cd myPath/; sbt "run arg1") 

or

(cd myPath/ && exec sbt "run arg1")
