For Windows

Administration Previlages

1. If you faced any errors with privileges, you may need to adjust powershell execution policy to run scripts.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

2. If you face an additional error that contains Set-ExecutionPolicy: Access to the registry key.....try the following:

Solution 1:

Open PowerShell without running as administrator

• Run the command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Currentuser

• Locate the script

cd $Home\Downloads

• Rerun the script

.\setUp.ps1

Solution 2:

Open PowerShell as administrator

• Run the command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

• Locate the script

cd $Home\Downloads

• Rerun the script

.\setUp.ps1

Solution 3:

hopefully this works :)

Open PowerShell as administrator

1. Run the command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process

3. Locate the script

cd $Home\Downloads

4. Rerun the script

.\setUp.ps1

5. Enter R to run
