Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::5858 Can't run nodemon with --debug flag after node-inspector is started (using same port?)

I followed the instructions per the video, and I've tried to find a solution on my own, but I've come up short. It seems that if I first start node-inspector, it fires up as expected and says:

āžœ express-basics git:(interactiveDebuggingAndExploratoryProgramming) node-inspector Node Inspector v0.12.8 Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/?port=5858 to start debugging.

Then I open my other terminal tab and run the comment and get the following error:

express-basics git:(interactiveDebuggingAndExploratoryProgramming) nodemon --debug src/app.js [nodemon] 1.11.0 [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter rs [nodemon] watching: . [nodemon] starting node --debug src/app.js Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::5858 at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:907:11) at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:930:20) at Agent.Server._listen2 (net.js:1250:14) at listen (net.js:1286:10) at Agent.Server.listen (net.js:1382:5) at Object.start (_debug_agent.js:21:9) at startup (node.js:70:44) at node.js:974:3

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
