Tips for fellow begginers: Resolving errors on Windows
Hi all, a few items that I figured out along the way
1.) Make sure your bios has virtualization enabled -- how to do this varies from machine to machine so google it for specifics
2.) Cygwin -- really helped me to run the initial commands
3.) After downloading and unzipping the gswd file, make sure you are in the folder gswd-vagrant when you run $ vagrant up
3.) Error: stdin is not a tty -- apparently this is a bug with ubuntu but doesn't cause any issues
4.) Error installing chef: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. -- found in another question, fixed by commenting out the top line and adding the line below:
# config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc chef" config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc chef --version '10.14.2'"
5.) If you have issues still with vagrant up; try running VAGRANT_LOG=INFO vagrant up -- this works in cygwin, if you aren't using cygwin the syntax is a bit different.

6.) rather than installing django with: $ pip install django // consider installing django version 1.45 for the microblog portion of the tutorial using $ pip install django==1.4.5 // my syntax here might not be 100% on.
