Why do I get “nodemon cannot be loaded” in my VS Code terminal?

I installed Nodemon locally and globally, but in both cases I get the same error:

Nodemon : File C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\nodemon.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

At line:1 char:1
+ nodemon Books.js
+ ~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [], PSSecurityException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess.

How to fix it?

Did you follow that link and read the mentioned documentation? – jonrsharpe
No. I didn't read it, because I got mad – roman
Alright well maybe start by calming down, then doing what the message tells you to. – jonrsharpe
Hey roman, it's all about execution plolicies, can you actually try to use command line instead of powershell and try to run? – halilcakar

I have encountered this problem before and solved it like this:-

go to package.json, then attachment this to scripts:-

"start": "node app", "dev": "nodemon app"

it will be like this

"scripts": {
"start": "node app",
"dev": "nodemon app"},

then write in terminal npm run dev

note: app refer to the file name of your entry point

In the package.json, replace scripts with this:

 "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node app",
    "dev": "nodemon app"   },

Now, open the terminal and type: npm run dev

#You need to change the execution policy by doing these

  • open windows powershell(RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR)
  • Type - Get-ExecutionPolicy -> you will get 'Restricted' -Type - Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  • type Y and hit enter
  • Now check if it changed to Unrestricted by typing Get-ExecutionPolicy -> you should get Unrestricted

go to VS code studio and in the terminal:

  • npm i nodemon -g(-g for globally installing it) -check installation by typing "nodemon -v" -> you will get the version installed now
