node.js - How can I get npm start at a different directory?

Question

I usually cd into the app directory and then run npm start.

It is my feeling that there ought to be some way to run npm start with a path parameter. But, the npm start documentation contains no such feature.

I tried myself only to find npm start ./myapp does not work. Is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

This one-liner should work:

npm start --prefix path/to/your/app
