How to Resolve PowerShell Script Execution Policy Error for Angular CLI ?

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator

To address the script execution policy error, initiate PowerShell with administrative privileges. Right-click on the PowerShell icon and select "Run as Administrator."

2. Check the Current Execution Policy

Use the following command to inspect the current execution policy.

• PowerShell command
• Get-ExecutionPolicy

3. Change the Execution Policy

If the current execution policy is too restrictive (e.g., "Restricted"), consider changing it to a more permissive setting like `RemoteSigned`:

• PowerShell command
• Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Confirm the change by selecting 'Y' (Yes) when prompted.

4. Run Your Angular CLI Command Again

Retry your Angular CLI command after modifying the execution policy:

• Angular Terminal
• ng generate component test

Your Component will be created successfully with a test Component inside the app folder

5. Restore the Original Execution Policy (Optional)

For security reasons, you can revert to the original execution policy after completing Angular CLI tasks:

• PowerShell
• Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted

Confirm the change by selecting 'Y' (Yes) when prompted.

By adopting the `RemoteSigned` execution policy, you allow the execution of locally created scripts while mandating that downloaded scripts be signed by a trusted publisher.

This approach balances security and convenience, making it suitable for development purposes.
