node-dev not installing and runs only once

Question

I am new to nodejs and i am trying to run the following command

sudo npm install node-dev -g

I get the following message

npm WARN deprecated object-keys@0.2.0: Please update to the latest object-keys
/usr/local/bin/node-dev -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-dev/bin/node-dev

I had the same problem, so I used the following instead: npm install nodev@0.8.1

This worked great. See this link for more info: https://libraries.io/npm/nodev/0.8.1
