# Path variables
|
|
|
|
- `path.cwd`: the directory from where Packer was started.
|
|
|
|
- `path.root`: the directory of the input HCL file or the input folder.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```HCL
|
|
locals {
|
|
settings_file = "${path.cwd}/settings.txt"
|
|
scripts_folder = "${path.root}/scripts"
|
|
root = path.root
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
