When I run my serverless deploy command I get stuck in this window in the terminal, ![00%20AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/serverless/original/2X/0/0baf6adcc0b431206d93de1399e783134a98e81b.png) and will be stuck like this in the terminal. Literally does nothing after this (I’ve let it sit for more than 4 hours).  
If it helps and I didn’t explain my situation right. I’m a jr in school trying to learn back end with node js and mysql. I’m trying to follow a aws lambda tutorial: lambda + serverless tutorial. When I run serverless deploy the link for my browser I’m supposed to get doesn’t come up in the terminal. The serverless-example user is the outcome I’m looking for.
