It shouldn't matter which terminal/console/command prompt you use, as long as you have Node and npm correctly set up. The 'git bash' is probably the easiest to use as it also gives you access to some commands that are normally only used in Linux/Mac OS X, that Huston uses in his courses, like ls to list files in a directory, etc.

Don't use the 'node.exe` if you're on Windows though, since that is an interactive console or REPL, and is used to run Node/JavaScript code directly.
