Trying to undo Spork


I am learning Ruby on Rails with the help of Michael Hartl's tutorial. I start to do this section. I did the add Guard and everything seemed to work fine. I then went ahead to try doing the Spork process and after following all the instructions, when I run `guard' this is what I get:

16:57:46 - INFO - Guard here! It looks like your project has a Gemfile, yet you are running
> [#] `guard` outside of Bundler. If this is your intent, feel free to ignore this

> [#] (You can run `guard` with --no-bundler-warning to get rid of this message.)

I know I did something wrong but as a newbie I can't pinpoint exactly what I did wrong. I did a lot of googling already and check some solutions here on StackOverflow but all efforts have been in vain so far. I just want to undo the Spork process and have everything going fine like before. I think I may have to skip doing Spork because for now it's too advanced for me.

I also did run this command bundle exec spork --bootstrapin the terminal. And my spec_helper.rb looks like this:

  Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

  # Checks for pending migrations before tests are run.
  # If you are not using ActiveRecord, you can remove this line.

    # Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures

    # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your

end

Spork.each_run do
  # This code will be run each time you run your specs.

end

# --- Instructions ---
# Sort the contents of this file into a Spork.prefork and a Spork.each_run
# block.
#
# The Spork.prefork block is run only once when the spork server is started.
# You typically want to place most of your (slow) initializer code in here, in
# particular, require'ing any 3rd-party gems that you don't normally modify
# during development.
#
# The Spork.each_run block is run each time you run your specs.  In case you
# need to load files that tend to change during development, require them here.
# With Rails, your application modules are loaded automatically, so sometimes
# this block can remain empty.
#
# Note: You can modify files loaded *from* the Spork.each_run block without
# restarting the spork server.  However, this file itself will not be reloaded,
# so if you change any of the code inside the each_run block, you still need to
# restart the server.  In general, if you have non-trivial code in this file,
# it's advisable to move it into a separate file so you can easily edit it
# without restarting spork.  (For example, with RSpec, you could move
# non-trivial code into a file spec/support/my_helper.rb, making sure that the
# spec/support/* files are require'd from inside the each_run block.)
#
# Any code that is left outside the two blocks will be run during preforking
# *and* during each_run -- that's probably not what you want.
#
# These instructions should self-destruct in 10 seconds.  If they don't, feel
# free to delete them.




# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
