Change directory in Node.js command prompt

node.js cmd directory

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:

Windows Search for node.js

Which will open a command prompt window that looks like this:

From there you can switch directories using the cd command.

node.js cmd directory

To switch to the another directoryprocess.chdir("../");

node.js cmd directory

If you mean to change default directory for "Node.js command prompt", when you launch it, then (Windows case)

go the directory where NodeJS was installed
find file nodevars.bat
open it with editor as administrator
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/
