3.2.1 Windows

General Notes

• Make sure that you are using powershell and not cmd, regardless of the terminal emulator you are using. cmd is not supported and will result in inconsistent behavior.
• Powershell automatically replaces / where a \ is required under Windows. The guide uses this system-agnostic notation, but you don't have to worry about manually replacing slashes.
• If you are using Windows 10 you need to change the PowerShell Execution Policy. We suggest setting it to RemoteSigned.
  • Open PowerShell as an Administrator
  • Run the following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
  • This is a system wide setting so you only need to set it once

Shell configuration

By default, jde is configured to start new instances of the run time in a new powershell window. However, since version 2.4, the windows terminal emulator can be configured, similarly to how the linux terminal emulator can be configured.

Windows Terminal

Windows Terminal is the first powershell compatible terminal emulator alternative officially offered by Microsoft. Windows Terminal (and likely other terminal emulators) can be configured as the terminal used to launch instances of the jazz development environment.

The configuration file located at jde/user/windows_terminal_emulator.cfg provides the instructions for configuring the windows terminal emulator. It comes with presets for running powershell and windows terminal, which can be commented and uncommented according to which terminal should be run.
