125Depending on your OS, you may face the following error :
126```
127$ [nodemon] Internal watch failed: ENOSPC: no space left on device, watch '/PeerTube/dist'
128```
129
130This is due to your system's limit on the number of files you can monitor for live-checking changes. For example, Ubuntu uses inotify and this limit is set to 8192. Then you need to change this limit :
131```
132echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
133```
