How to fix error- nodemon.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system, (without security risk)?

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

  1. Open Windows PowerShell with Run as Administrator
  2. Run this command: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

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.

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."

For those who are not aware of how to solve this error using Windows PowerShell

  1. Open PowerShell (Run As Administrator)
  2. Check the current execution policy using this command
    Get-ExecutionPolicy
    # You should get 'Restricted'
  1. Run this command to make it 'Unrestricted'
    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  1. Check again whether execution policy changed by running this command
    Get-ExecutionPolicy
    # You should get 'Unrestricted'
  1. Now try to run nodemon on your project
    nodemon 'filename.js'

Hope this would be helpful
