    Here’s how you can make it possible to run the PowerShell script:

    Open the admin level terminal for Windows PowerShell or the IDE you are currently using. Enter Get-ExecutionPolicy. It shows the policy for the current PowerShell session. You can also enter Get-ExecutionPolicy -List to list out the policies for all scopes. get-execution-policy Change the execution policy for the scope you want. The command you need for this purpose is: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy <policy name> -Scope <scope>. In general, we recommend using Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned, as it is more secure. set-execution-policy If it doesn’t solve the issue, enter: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
