nestjsexecutionpolicy

AppData\Roaming\npm\nest.ps1 is not digitally signed

I am new to nestjs. cloned a repo from github and it is written using nestjs. (I wrote it with a friend (first time for both of us), so maybe there is a problem with that end...) I try to install nest by running the command:

npm install -g @nestjs/cli

It works, when I check the version I see 10.1.18, It's clearly installed. But, when I try to run the cloned repo by typing

nest start I get this error:

nest : File C:\Users\My-User\AppData\Roaming\npm\nest.ps1 cannot be loaded. The file
C:\Users\ My-User \AppData\Roaming\npm\nest.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run
this script on the current system. For more information about running scripts and setting

I tried changing the execution policy as shown by Microsoft, not working... anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance

Solution

  • What I did is uninstall the global nest, then tried to install it in the folder. it errored because of one of the packages I'm trying to use (bcrypt) so I uninstalled that package, then installed nest, and it works. Now I have to see how to install the bcrypt - but this is a different issue.
