I am working with meteor.js and I need to increase the value of /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches to solve my problem (here is a description of problem and solution).

But I can not do it:

➜  ~  sudo echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

zsh: permission denied: /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

How can I change this value ?

Just become root by running

sudo su

And then

echo 10000 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
