Error: ENFILE: File table overflow, scandir while reacting on Mac
I am trying to install and run Reaction on mac osx 10.12.15 inside a command
npm install -g react-cli initiate reaction reaction cd Reaction
Then I ended up with below error. I'm just fresh with a Reactjs developer, so this is just nerve-racking. And it is just compatible with the package version, but how can I solve this.
=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.

This may be due to the restriction on open files on Mac. It is set to low by default. You will need to increase the default size.
$ echo kern.maxfiles=65536 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
$ echo kern.maxfilesperproc=65536 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
$ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=65536
$ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfilesperproc=65536
$ ulimit -n 65536
See the link for details.
