Change PowerShell Execution Policy

The error message you're seeing indicates that PowerShell is preventing the execution of the firebase command because script execution is disabled on your system. This is a security feature in PowerShell to prevent the execution of potentially harmful scripts.

To resolve this issue and allow the execution of the firebase command, you can change the PowerShell execution policy to a less restrictive setting. Here's how you can do it:

Open PowerShell as an Administrator: To change the execution policy, you need administrative privileges. Right-click on the PowerShell icon and choose "Run as Administrator."

Check the Current Execution Policy: You can check the current execution policy by running the following command:

CODE:
--------------------------------
Get-ExecutionPolicy
--------------------------------

It will likely return "Restricted," which is the most restrictive policy.

Change the Execution Policy: To change the execution policy to allow script execution, you can use the Set-ExecutionPolicy command. For example, to set it to "RemoteSigned," which allows local scripts to run but requires remote scripts to be signed, you can use:

CODE:
------------------------------------------------
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
------------------------------------------------

You can also set it to "Unrestricted" if you are certain about the safety of the scripts you run, but this can be less secure.

Confirm the Change: After running the Set-ExecutionPolicy command, you can confirm that the policy has been changed by running Get-ExecutionPolicy again.

Run the firebase Command: Once you have changed the execution policy, you should be able to run the firebase command without encountering the security error.

Remember that changing the execution policy can pose a security risk if you run untrusted scripts. It's essential to be cautious and only change the policy if you trust the source of the scripts you intend to run.
