4,109 PointsTrouble installing the Treehouse VM on Windows for Rails
I'm falling at the last hurdle and I don't know why. I've installed everything but when I go to cmder and get to the part where I need to type 'vagrant up' it's returning different text than what is shown in the video. Then when I type 'vagrant ssh' I'm getting spat out in C:\Users\MyName\treehouse instead of the 'welcome to the treehouse vm' message.
Any thoughts? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything but no joy.

Treehouse Guest TeacherWhat text are you seeing when you type "vagrant up"? I was having trouble with this earlier and I just had to let it download the box. It just took a reaaaaaaaally long time. Unfortunately, I'm now having an issue where nothing happens when I type "vagrant ssh"...
