“npm start” Doesn’t Work?


If you just cloned a project that uses npm start to compile and run itself, and it doesn’t run, but throws an error about lite-server (Or something like that), being not available, try installing following NodeJS packages globally.

npm install -g concurrently lite-server typescript

And then open /etc/sysctl.conf as root and paste following line into it.

fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

And then run sudo sysctl -p. This has something to do with lite-server being able to watch for file changes in the project. Didn’t research more about this. LOL.

Things should be good now.
