Using Powershell as terminal in IntelliJ IDEA IDEs like PyCharm, PHPStorm or RubyMine
intellij-idea, powershell, pycharm
Solution
I've replaced cmd.exe with powershell.exe in a simpler way and hope it can help. I'm using webstorm2017 and Win10 os.
1.Find the exact location of `powershell.exe`.In mine and I believe in most computers the location would be `C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe`.Copy the whole path into your clipboard.
2.In your IDE open File=>Setting=>Tools=>Terminal, and paste the path into "Shell path" blank.
3.Restart the IDE and everything would be ok.
Problem
I have been attempting to run powershell as my terminal on windows in pycharm, so I did the following: However, when I try this, it says that it cannot execute my scripts, and hence I get the following error: `SecurityError` and the Fully Qualified Id is : `UnAuthorizedAccess`. This arises from the fact that pycharm's terminal cannot execute my `Powershell_profile.ps1` profile file. How can I successfully run Pycharm's terminal with Powershell? What I have tried so far, is going into my main powershell directory as in `%windir%/system32/WindowsPowerShell/1.0/profile.ps1`, and then change it to include the following: ``` Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted ``` However, this does not help, and I get the same error when I try to open of pycharm's terminal. I have also tried to run pycharm as Admin, however this does not solve the problem either, and I get the same aforementioned error.
