Gradle Version: 2.14.1  
Operating System: Windows 7x64, AMD Core2Duo 2Gz, 4Gb RAM  
I’m novice with Gradle.

My USER\_HOME/.gradle/gradle.settings:  
org.gradle.parallel=true  
org.gradle.daemon=true

Downloaded Gradle from this site, install it. type in command line:  
`gradle -v` - it’s ok

type:  
`gradle --debug tasks or gradle --debug hello` - gets an error!  
Native-platform posix files is not available.

What I can do? Or what you can do to check this error? I have a many projects to develop and I need to work.

Hi,

The `DEBUG` log statement about posix files you get when using `--debug` is not an error.

Could you run gradle with the `-s` command line option so we can look at a proper stacktrace?
