std::system() is not safe ; as a user could call this function with an input crafted to do malicious things...
So the solution would be to sanitize the inputs or the best solution is to use fork() and execvp() (for linux at least.)

I see, sorry I didn't know it was bad practice to use std::system. I'll make the changes for both macOS and linux.
