Truffle does not open console instead opens truffle js file

Question

I have installed truffle on Windows system. I have unboxed metacoin project and now trying to run it but truffle is not working. When I run truffle console command, it opens truffle.js file instead of truffle console.

When running truffle commands on Windows system, you have to mention the extension of the command, or else Windows will not recognize. Try:

truffle.cmd console
