Installing a Ruby Development Environment and my terminal is not changing...

Hi there,

I'm following along the video of the "Installing a Ruby Development Environment", "installing the treehouse VM on Mac". Everything is fine until about 5:07, where the last command entered in the Terminal is "bin/rails server". This is what I get:

=> Booting WEBrick => Rails 4.0.1 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Run rails server -h for more startup options => Ctrl-C to shutdown server [2016-05-16 19:13:27] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2016-05-16 19:13:27] INFO ruby 2.0.0 (2013-11-22) [i686-linux] [2016-05-16 19:13:27] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=3601 port=3000

After this, Jason proceeds to exit, but my terminal has stayed liked this for hours! Help please!

Many thanks!

The Rails server will keep running until you stop or kill it. To stop a running command in the terminal type Ctrl + C.

worked like a charm! Thank you!!!
