This error occurs due to security reasons. Without our approval, this would not let us execute the script in our system. This means that the system has disabled the running scripts and the system can’t accept the ng commands. Then what we can do to resolve this is open the PowerShell with administrative rights. To do this let’s follow these steps.

Step 01

Run the below command in the terminal.

set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

After running this command you will see your terminal like below.
