I’m new to ruby on rails and trying to start learning. I’m developing on mac os x. I updated rubygems and rails.

I’ve started the server and have gotten the rails welcome page but my terminal is hung up. If i quit the terminal the server ends. Here is the text in my terminal right now. the cursor is on a new row directly under the last line so anything i type doesn’t do anything if entered(except go to new line).

Is there a command i’m missing to start creating controllers and views in the terminal?

    When developing Rails applications, you’ll typically have several terminals open at once.

    This terminal is just for watching the standard output logging from the server. You’ll probably want another terminal open with tail -F /path/to/logs/logs to see all the logs at once, and another terminal open for your editing, rails generate ..., git, etc. uses. You might have one more open for script/console to give you an irb-alike interface “inside” your application.
