I am working through the console phase videos but the treehouse console will not load fully.
I assume because I am working at a Panera Bread. I was at McDonalds but changed to panera in hopes of it working but its not.
What other alternatives do I have? And how do I get there? I am using mac osx 10.9.

Using Chrome.

12,474 PointsDave McFarland, I moved from my laptop to an iMac connected by ethernet cable and I am still having problems with the online console not loading fully. It is still just going through the loading screen repeating the funny messages. Is there anything on your end you can do?

7,672 PointsI don't use osx. But osx I believe is bash based and has a terminal you could use. File systems/pathways may be different; but the commands still apply.

Treehouse TeacherNicholas is talking about the web-based console that we offer in some of our courses. It's a browser window that shows an instance of a browser console that you can interact with.

7,672 PointsI know. I just thought it would be easier using a terminal. The web console hasn't worked, in the past. When I first started, it was down for quite awhile.
Dave McFarland
Treehouse TeacherYes, if you have a terminal (Mac or Linux) it's probably best to use that -- it's obviously the real thing, so best to learn on that. Windows doesn't have a console by default, so the Treehouse console can be a good way to learn.

Treehouse TeacherCan you provide a little more information about what exactly is happening. How far along do you get in the process?
