Error on terminal: nodemon.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
I have a solution to fix the issue by this way
That solves the issue, but this way the system shows Security Risk Warning. My question: Is there any other way to solve this without security risk? Target is to use nodemon.
Go to this link and then follow the steps.
Open Powershell as run as administrator and then run the below commands:
PS> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine
PS> Get-ExecutionPolicy
RemoteSigned
PS> .\Start-ActivityTracker.ps1
.\Start-ActivityTracker.ps1 : File .\Start-ActivityTracker.ps1 cannot be loaded.
The file .\Start-ActivityTracker.ps1 is not digitally signed.
The script will not execute on the system.

The best way to get rid of this error is
Run the below command in your windows power shell as admin
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
Basically it will ask you to change the execution policy then type Y .
**OR**
You can do is without changing your execution Policy
Make sure that you are installing nodemon globally For more details microsoft execution policies docs
Faced Similar issue while running some node command. AppData\Roaming\npm\serverless.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.
PS C:\Users\adas67> Get-ExecutionPolicy
Restricted
PS C:\Users\adaaa> Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
Scope ExecutionPolicy
----- ---------------
MachinePolicy Undefined
UserPolicy Undefined
Process Undefined
CurrentUser Undefined
LocalMachine Undefined
Solved by this.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
Step 1 : Go to this location --> File C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\npm
Step 2 : Delete the nodemon.ps1 file and run the command.
This cmd works properly.
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
In windows 10.
Mapped wrong path in Adminstration and system variables for npm. Go to Environment variables and change the those path under PATH variables.
Step 1:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm to C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm
Step 2:
Then restart my system.
It works fine.
Go to the folder : - C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\npm
Delete the powershell file of nodemon or nodemon.ps1 . You will be good to go.
You can do this by without changing the policy. C:\Users\HP MICROTECH\AppData\Roaming\npm\nodemon.ps1 (path is given at error screen)
just go to this path and delete nodemon.ps1
and there your nodemon runs.
Run these commands:
nodemon: File C:\Users\HP\AppData\Roaming\npm\nodemon.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more
information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
If anyone who facing this problem...so my opinion is that just go in file and delete the nodemon.ps1 file and then try use nodemon filename
I slove my problem with the following command.
=>run PowerShell as administrator
=>run following command
get-ExecutionPolicy
=>if restricted; run the following command
set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
=>and set to all
=>again check by foll. command
get-ExecutionPolicy
it will get unrestricted and problem is solved
While using npm I recommend to bridge the nodemon command in the scripts section and leave the security settings as they are.
package.json:
{
"scripts": {
"hmr": "nodemon index.js",
"nodemon": "npm run hmr",
"start": "node index.js"
},
"dependencies": {}
}
Just execute npm run nodemon which will run the hmr line behind the scenes.
For those who are not aware of how to solve this error using Windows PowerShell
Get-ExecutionPolicy
# You should get 'Restricted'
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Get-ExecutionPolicy
# You should get 'Unrestricted'
nodemon 'filename.js'
Hope this would be helpful
I've a better solution, just go to the folder where nodemon.ps1 places (path is in error) and delete nodemon.ps1 file.
now go to the terminal and run nodemon -v, if you get a version then the problem solved.
I'd recommend using RemoteSigned as opposed to Unrestricted, and limiting the policy to the CurrentUser if possible.
Run Powershell as Admin, and then:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
RemoteSigned: "The default execution policy for Windows server computers."
Other than that, I wouldn't worry about it too much, as it's not intended to be a security mechanism. See this quote from the docs:
"The execution policy isn't a security system that restricts user actions. For example, users can easily bypass a policy by typing the script contents at the command line when they cannot run a script. Instead, the execution policy helps users to set basic rules and prevents them from violating them unintentionally."
There is no security risk whatsoever associated with allowing remoted signed scripts to run on your local machine. It basically means you can execute local unsigned scripts i.e scripts written by you while scripts from a remote source (nodemon in this case) must be signed by a trusted authority.
P.S: If you're on windows, you can just go to settings >> update and security >> for developers >> check the box beside change execution policy to allow local powershell scripts to run without signing
This command might help
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
