I just installed karma and tried to init a new configuration. Seems to be a problem with MINGW. The command works in the default Command Prompt.

Workaround that works nicely in GIT BASH shell is to call it directly using node

node node_modules/karma/bin/karma init

I could ran this command (karma init) in windows using windows command line instead of MINGW.
