Hi,

I am trying to color my spec results when running specification unit  
tests. I am using the following:

C:\> spec test\_prime.rb --format nested --color

But it tells me to install gem “win32console”. So, I installed the gem  
using:

C:\> igem install win32console

But still it gives me the same message that I need to install  
win32console gem.
