My company uses installed software that blocks PowerShell scripts from running on my computer. Because of this, I cannot start Julia inside JuliaPro. Is there a way to start Julia in JuliaPro without the PowerShell script running in the background? I suppose I could test my code outside of the IDE, but it’s an inconvenience to bounce between the Atom IDE and Julia console.

Atom settings → Packages → Julia Client → Settings → Julia Options → Uncheck “Enable Powershell Wrapper”

See if that works, if not further down in “Terminal Options” there’s also the option to provide an alternative shell, although I haven’t tried that so not sure what that does in practice.
