Node JS Tutorial for Beginners #22 - Installing Nodemon

Yo gang, in this Node JS tutorial for beginners, I'll show you how we can install a Node package called Nodemon. Nodemon is a great dev package that keeps track of code changes in our application, and restarts the server for us when it detects them (so we don't have to). Great time saver.

The tutorials are very good, easy to understand, easy to implement.

The first time i really understand nodemon!

[justincantley]

This reminds me of Grunt watch which is also fantastic. What an awesome package to help development run more efficiently. Once again you've done a great job explaining things as well.

why does it

node : The term 'node' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ node index.js
+ ~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (node:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

if nodemon gives the 'ENOENT' error when starting the app, and no online solution works for you, try other automation packages. 'Forever' works for me. Great tutorial as usual Ninjaman!

I tried installing Node mon globally using the Command [npm install nodemon -g] when I put [nodemon app.js] Im getting the below error

Thank you so much for educating people on nodejs in such a precise manner.
I'm a beginner, and I discovered something cool along these lines that I'd like to point out.
I've started with NetBeans for nodejs development and it has a chrome connector, that takes care of this for you, reflecting changes real time. Just an alternative.

"....cannot be loaded because running script is disabled on this system"?

[cheriecheung]

you. are. amazing. thanks for the tutorial!

[bymBmxDmx]

In case you get "cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at


* Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator
* Check the states with " Get-ExecutionPolicy -List ", And LocaMachine will probably be Undefined
* Change the state with " Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine Unrestricted ", now should work fine

"cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system should i do for this error

[yavuzsengoz]

I installed nodemon global and it is start. Although I did the ones on the video step by step and change to 'contact' to 'contact-us' . Terminal show only " [nodemon] restarting due to changes..." but it is not start automaticaly like yours and cannot show "[nodemon] starting `node app.js `"... I might it must change in new version. So if it is change on new version, how can it is fixing for auto start ? Thanks for helping

[forgoroe]

nice videos. They're helping me a lot !

[NoCommentaryj]

[avigarg]
