Chokidar: ENOSPC Error. Fails to watch when not superuser

[happilymarrieddad]

Sorry for the noob question. I'm certain this is just some simple permission issue. When I run my app as super user it works great but if I try to run it as my default user it fails. I set the permissions to chmod 777 -R and chown : -R . The brackets are just to show that is the place that I put my username and path to the project respectively. It didn't fix it.

I'm using Linux Mint 18. I've run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. I've also uninstalled node and reinstalled it. I can't seem to get this fixed and it seems like such a simple issue. Thanks!
