How to allow pnpm script on Windows

June 17, 2024

When you run external scripts for example pnpm in Windows you maybe get a Execution_Policies error. To fix this you need to change your execution policies.

First open PowerShell as administrator. Then run Get-ExecutionPolicy to get your current policies.

Get-ExecutionPolicy # Output expected: Restricted

Then change the execution policies to RemoteSigned using the Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy <PolicyName> command.

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

This will change your execution policies and now you can run external scripts like pnpm.
