Installation instructions do not work: Powershell Execution Policy needs to be set to `RemoteSigned`

Open AMDphreak opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

puro flutter doctor doesn't work on Windows. Your instructions include no mention of changing the Powershell Execution Policy. Let's be real: nobody is using cmd.exe on Windows as a developer, so you have to include this:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

These are the error messages if you do not do the above first:
