## Definition

```csharp
namespace Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel;

public class ExecutableResource
    : Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.Resource,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IComputeResource,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResource,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithArgs,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithEndpoints,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithEnvironment,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithProbes,
      Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithWaitSupport
{
    // ...
}
```

## Remarks

You can run any executable command using its full path. As a security feature, Aspire doesn't run executable unless the command is located in a path listed in the PATH environment variable. To run an executable file that's in the current directory, specify the full path or use the relative path `./` to represent the current directory.
