I believe that I got blackbird installed correctly, there were no errors or issues when attempting to set it up. When I run the blackbird file I simply get this:
Blackbird Bitcoin Arbitrage
DISCLAIMER: USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Log file generated: output/blackbird_log_20181104_124946.log
Blackbird is running... (pid ####)
I've installed this both on a Mac and on Ubuntu (separate machines) and I still get the same output.
I don't get any other log info. I'm running in demo mode because I want to make sure I get the software running correctly before I sign up for any accounts. Am I missing something, or is this all I should expect to see before I put real credentials in? Or are there some commands that I need to enter? Can someone please assist me in getting it properly up and running?
Was the mentioned file created in the output folder?

Yes it was.
And what does it say?

and then there's a lot of price data but I won't post it all.
So is that all? I'm just supposed to check the log files after running the application?
Yes. Blackbird is a CLI application
So when I run the application in live mode, and have my APIs setup how do I know when and how trading is taking place?
By reading the log file in real time. You can use the command
tail -f blackbird_log_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx.log
