          That is normal, no command prompt as the server is still running until you hit CTRL-C to stop it. However, it is possible to do what you want by adding an ampersand "&" at the end of your command. Example:



          npm run &


          It should show you the PID number after it runs, so to kill it type:



          kill <whatever the PID number is>


          Didn't see the PID number?? type this to list running processes:



          ps -aef 


          Alternate way is to use "screen" or "tmux", which allows you to multiplex the terminal.

          • Thanks but I did Contrl+C to close it for a fresh start and then wrote " nmp run serve &" and got to see the PID number just before the message where the Server listening at localhost:8888 comes up, the thing is I can't kill anything because I can;t write anything, the prompt is just not there

          • as long as you didn't get any errors when you ran it, you just wait a few seconds and the command prompt should return. If not, you can use Screen: rackaid.com/blog/linux-screen-tutorial-and-how-to or tmux: hamvocke.com/blog/a-quick-and-easy-guide-to-tmux
