Issue running npm start on Ubuntu

[ycarriger]

Gulp tasks throw error on Ubuntu, unable to proceed further.
Traced to issue here: BrowserSync/browser-sync#224

Solution (as stated there by amoswachanga ) is to run the following cmd in a Terminal session:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

This resolved the issue for me.

I will investigate this with issue #11

Hi @ycarriger,

I worked through some Ubuntu issues #8 #11 and confirm that this issue is related to the file watchers limit in Ubuntu. The resolution is to increase the number of file watchers to allow gulp to run.

But you knew that anyway 😄

I have updated the README to inform Ubuntu users to increase this limit to allow them to run the app in dev/livereload mode.

Many thanks for the feedback 👍
