How to open a terminal on WebStorm?

Question

How do I get WebStorm to open a terminal?

When I try to do it I get an Exception:

"java.io.IOEXception:couldn't create PTY" 

git also has the same problem on my computer.

Answer 1

Go to File -> Settings -> Tools -> Terminal and change Shell path based on the the installed git version.

for 64bit:
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i

for 32bit:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i

Don't forget the quotes around the command.
