How to Fix the Running Scripts is Disabled Error When Creating a New Angular App

Creating a new Angular application can be an exciting endeavor, but encountering an error such as "running scripts is disabled on this system" can be quite frustrating. This error typically occurs in PowerShell and is related to the script execution policy settings on your Windows system. In this post, we'll guide you through resolving this error so you can proceed with your Angular project smoothly.

Understanding the Error

The error message "running scripts is disabled on this system" occurs because Windows PowerShell, by default, has a policy that restricts the execution of scripts to ensure the system's security. When you attempt to create a new Angular app using the Angular CLI, PowerShell blocks the execution of the necessary scripts due to this policy.

Steps to Fix the Error

To fix this issue, you need to change the execution policy on your system. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Open PowerShell as an Administrator

Press Win + X to open the Power User menu.

Select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin) to run PowerShell with administrative privileges.

Step 2: Check the Current Execution Policy

Before changing the execution policy, it's a good practice to check the current policy. Run the following command in the PowerShell window:

Step 3: Change the Execution Policy

To allow the execution of scripts, you need to change the policy to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted. The RemoteSigned policy is generally safer as it allows scripts created locally to be executed, whereas remote scripts must be signed by a trusted publisher. To change the policy, run:

PowerShell will prompt you with a warning. Confirm the change by typing Y and pressing Enter.

Step 4: Verify the Policy Change

To ensure the policy has been changed successfully, run the command from Step 2 again:

You should see RemoteSigned (or Unrestricted if you chose that) in the output.

Step 5: Create Your Angular App

With the execution policy configured correctly, you can now proceed to create a new Angular app. Navigate to your project directory and run:

Important Note

Altering the execution policy can introduce security risks. Make sure to revert the policy back to its original state if you no longer need to run scripts, especially if you set it to Unrestricted. Use the following command to change it back to Restricted:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "running scripts is disabled" error and successfully create your new Angular application. Changing the execution policy to RemoteSigned allows PowerShell to run scripts essential for developing Angular projects while maintaining a balanced level of security.
