Geddy - Node not restarting after saving any files

Question

Not sure why this all of a sudden is broken, but when running Geddy, anytime I make a change, say in the controller, view, model. It isn't recognized and geddy does not restart.

Currently running ver:

Node: v0.10.20 via homebrew on Mac 10.8 Geddy: 0.10.3 via npm install -g geddy

Update:

Had to install geddy via: sudo npm install -g geddy

Seems to be restarting anytime files are saved now.

According to this GitHub issue, Geddy needs to be installed locally (without the -g flag) in order for it to correctly trigger a restart when files in the project are changed.

Yeah, when I installed geddy, it was with the -g, npm install -g geddy – Whnunlife Oct 22 '13 at 02:00
No, let me give that a shot – Whnunlife Oct 22 '13 at 02:21
Yeah, no dice. I just installed nvm, thought I'd try running node 0.8, but still, no dice... – Whnunlife Oct 22 '13 at 02:29
Got it working. I did the following, but is their any down side to this? sudo npm install -g geddy – Whnunlife Oct 22 '13 at 02:38
No, there's no downside to globally installing with `sudo`. In fact, that's the proper way to do it. – SomeKittens Oct 22 '13 at 02:56
