Answer 1

Try to use the following commands to enlarge the number of handlers that actives the watcher (listener of application changes)

sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 sudo sysctl -p --system

Answer 3

The issue in port

app.listen(8080);

try these code

  var http = require('http');
 //create a server object:
  http.createServer(function (req, res) {
 res.write('Hello World!'); //write a response to the client
 res.end(); //end the response
}).listen(8080); //the server object listens on port 8080
