Hello!!!
Just giving Otto a try and looks nice.
I'm running it on Windows 7 Professional (64 bit version).
On the command line I obtain strange characters though.
For example:
C:\otto_projects>otto compile
←[0m←[1m==> Loading Appfile...←[0m
←[0m←[1m==> Fetching all Appfile dependencies...←[0m
←[0m←[1m==> Compiling...←[0m
←[0m    Application:    Otto Java App (java)←[0m
←[0m    Project:        otto_projects←[0m
←[0m    Infrastructure: aws (simple)←[0m
←[0m←[0m
←[0m    Compiling infra...←[0m
←[0m    Compiling foundation: consul←[0m
←[0m←[1m==> Compiling main application...←[0m
←[0m←[32m←[1m==> ←[32mCompilation success!←[0m
←[0m←[32m    ←[32mThis means that Otto is now ready to start a development environment,
    deploy this application, build the supporting infrastructure, and
    more. See the help for more information.

    Supporting files to enable Otto to manage your application from
    development to deployment have been placed in the output directory.
    These files can be manually inspected to determine what Otto will do.←[0m

Any solution? Is this a known problem? How can I solve it?

Thank you in advance.

P.S.: Using latest version:
C:\otto_projects>otto version
Otto v0.2.0

@Renato, what you see is not a problem; it is just some ANSI escape codes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code) so that the display has a nice coloring to it.

Just install Bash for Git (maybe as part of Git for Windows as per below); you will see the properly colored output:
