Is there a well-designed method that can run my ruby program from anywhere? I already searched a couple of ways to import my ruby program from the different directories by using the relative path.
i.e.
File.expand_path(“my_path”)
It worked and let me run it anywhere, but somehow, it is a little unreadable and I think it is pretty messy. So I think there may be a solution or convention to deal with this kind of problem when there are many file paths that have to be imported.
I suggest you have a look how to package a gem and build your own and install it. Or you could place your binary in
$PATH, but that’s a bit more messy.
