Hello Paulius,

This is a Treehouse issue. I tried launching the console and experienced the same issue. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. If you continue to have this problem contact help@teamtreehouse.com.

If you are using Unix (Linux or OSX) you can just launch a terminal from your computer.

I am on windows, and I installed Ruby when I was learning sass can I used ruby command prompt, as the console is still showing errors, and I have no reasons to move on without actually launching and practicing the code side by the lecture videos.

The Ruby prompt is different, so it won't really help you wth this. You can try a program called Cygwin, which lets you emulate a Unix terminal on Windows: https://www.cygwin.com/

Alternately, you can try http://bellard.org/jslinux/ Just wait for it to load and you have a Linux command prompt!

Another option is to install a Linux Virtual Machine to run inside Windows. That's what I'm doing right now to go through this course. I'm running Fedora 21 inside VMWare and the console for this course launched without a problem.
