Node.JS: Getting error : [nodemon] Internal watch failed: watch ENOSPC

Question

I just installed Node.js on my Ubuntu 14.04 operating system for the first time. I also installed npm. The next step in my installatio

Answer 1

[nodemon] Internal watch failed: watch /home/Document/nmmExpressServer/bin ENOSPC
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! nmmexpressserver@0.0.0 start: `nodemon ./bin/www`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the nmmexpressserver@0.0.0 start script.

This is the error I got when running nodemon ./bin/www.

The solution was closing an Atom window that had a entire directory of folders open in the project window.

I don't know why, but I'm assuming Atom and nodemon use similar processes to watch files/folders.
