latest version of node integrates inspect via $ node --inspect src/app.js https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/debugger.html#debugger_v8_inspector_integration_for_node_js running $ nodemon --inspect src/app.js allows you to duplicate the next lesson in a single iterm window. When you make a change in your js file, you must Reconnect DevTools in the inspector.

Googling the second error message brought this up: https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector/issues/905

Looks like an issue with recent versions of node (6.4+) and you may need to downgrade to 6.3.1 for node-inspector to work for now.
