NPM Error limited number of watchers.md

Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached, watch

Increasing the amount of inotify watchers

You can set a new limit temporary with:
sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
sudo sysctl -p
If you like to make your limit permanent, use:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p
