How to install Narrat?
To preface: I have zero experience related to any of this, and am learning everything related to coding, whatever powershell is, and downloading a script file (i think?) and i have run into an issue while trying to follow the YouTube tutorial to download Narrat and start a new project.
When right clicking on the folder i want to add a new Narrat project, i had to find keyboard commands to open a powershell as the option did not appear. (I am on Windows)
When i opened and typed in the (i assume) command to run a new Narrat project, I am met with the error message provided in the screenshot below. I’ve been looking around various Microsoft forums, reddit posts, etc, for around 30 minutes, and i have no clue how to resolve the issue as i don’t want to accidentally do lasting damage to my PC.
I seems to be an issue with some policy that protects from malware, but i honestly have no idea how or if i should change it. I just want to learn how to use Narrat to make a game - i have never done anything like this before.
What should i do to be able to run the command to open Narrat and finish the YouTube tutorial?
You need to allow unsigned scripts to run on your system. You can enter the command in powershell:
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
This will enable all scripts, including unsigned ones from the internet.
Will this leave the PC unprotected? I have Kaspersky antivirus, however it doesn’t protect from everything.
Also will this command only change my user or will it change all?
Thank you for taking the time to reply!
It’s so you don’t run scripts that are unsigned. The difference between a signed and unsigned script is simply that. It’s signed with a certificate and you’d know if it were modified. It’s a barrier to entry and in some environments is used to ensure only vetted scripts run.
But also signing a malicious script is a thing.
Don’t run scripts you don’t know.
Thank you so much for the help, i figured out i needed to run as administrator and got most of the way through the tutorial. However when i copy the link and paste it into my browser it cannot reach the page.
Is there a way for fixing this, or simply editing and saving Narrat in the folder? (since that what i thought it would do)
I seemed to have resolved the issue, by opening on VS Code. Thank you so much for your help!
All i need to figure out now is how to get a playtest window so i can check my progress.
