This is when starting sbot as a cli command. It gets stuck at that point. Followed the instructions here thus far (general info about setting up a test network)

This is normal, all you need to do is run ssb-server from a detachable session like screens or tmux.

I use screens personally, its really easy all you do is:

1.sudo apt install screen

  1. screen

  2. run your command to start ssb-server

  3. then press Ctrl a + d to detach the session.

and your done.

hmm that's interesting. I haven't done this yet because I'm on mac & it looks like the instructions are for linux. i wonder what difference it makes using a program like those

I see now, it looks like the text output from ssb-server start just stops at an awkward place. If you try an sbot command in a separate terminal it does work.
