I cannot get into the rails console. Keeps returning "Switch to inspect mode" then freezing until I ctrl + c.

I am using git bash and sublime 2 on windows.

This is what returns when I attempt to get into the rails console:

~/hamblog $ rails console Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.4) Switch to inspect mode.

Then it continues to run with no progress until I ctrl + c.

Best I can tell is GitBash has an issue with running rails console. You should be able to use irb in GitBash though. You might look into using Windows Powershell, or the Treehouse VM.

The Treehouse VM and cmder does not load properly, and Windows Powershell 4.0 is not compatible with my computer. Is Window Powershell 3.0 capable for me to follow along with treehouse?

Powershell 2.0 and up should be able to work with Ruby on Rails.
