How should I tackle this course on Windows OS?

The gulp needs installing in the terminal and its all linux here, using the treehouse machine with nano editor seems like a hassle, any advice?

Hi Jonathan!

If you install git for windows it comes with a git bash terminal which will allow you to use terminal commands. There are also terminal emulators for Windows that you can use. I tried Cmder and I think it works somewhat well.

You could also run Linux in a VM and use that terminal for the work.

Hope those help. If you have any questions let me.know!
