A simple way would be install a GUI app. A good one is KeepingYouAwake. This app is a GUI front-end to caffeinate command. It's very simple to install and configure, and keeps your computer from sleeping.

You can install it via Homebrew by running:

brew cask install keepingyouawake

If you don't have Homebrew installed, you can follow the instructions to install it on it's homepage:

https://brew.sh

  • See idownloadblog.com/2016/02/17/… for the differences beween coffeine and keepingyouawake. The complicated instructions are for those that have not installed Caffeine already. As you point out both programs are similar front end programs for the same backend caffeine command. As far as telling that it is running you'll have to create some kind of output in a gui or in the terminal like @bmike said.
