Using Powershell as terminal in IntelliJ IDEA IDEs like PyCharm, PHPStorm or RubyMine

Question

I have been attempting to run powershell as my terminal on windows in pycharm, so I did the following:

Answer 1

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser

Answer 2

You only need to write powershell in the Shell path input, just like in the image, also you can see jetBrains documentation and configure any shell you want. powershell configuration

Answer 3

If you're running on Windows 8 x64 then running both the commands below may help. It worked for me.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
start-job { Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force } -RunAs32

Answer 4

In the Default Shell TextBox you can append the execution policy command line option like so:

powershell.exe -Executionpolicy Unrestricted

Answer 5

For WebStorm and PowerShell 6+ on Windows 10. Just follow this screenshot and change the default cmd.exe to pwsh.exe from settings. Finally restart the ide. Done!
