You can safely ignore that one. When you start the server, it checks if your are running the latest version. If not it will suggest an upgrade.

and the server seems not starting in the development mode.

No.The server did start because you got

INFO: The server is running at http://localhost:8888/  

The easiest way to confirm this is point your browser to your application's home page
