# Debugging the main process
The devtools of browser window can only debug the renderer process scripts.
(I.e. the web pages.) In order to provide a way to debug the scripts of
the main process, atom-shell has provided the `--debug` and `--debug-brk`
switches.
## Command line switches
### `--debug=[port]`
When this switch is used atom-shell would listen for V8 debugger protocol
messages on `port`, the `port` is `5858` by default.
### `--debug-brk=[port]`
Like `--debug` but pauses the script on the first line.
## Use node-inspector for debugging
__Note:__ Atom Shell uses node v0.11.13, which currently doesn't work very well
with node-inspector, and the main process would crash if you inspect the
`process` object under node-inspector's console.
### 1. Start the [node-inspector][node-inspector] server
```bash
$ node-inspector
```
### 2. Enable debug mode for atom-shell
You can either start atom-shell with a debug flag like:
```bash
$ atom-shell --debug=5858 your/app
```
or, to pause your script on the first line:
```bash
$ atom-shell --debug-brk=5858 your/app
```
### 3. Load the debugger UI
Open http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug?port=5858 in the Chrome browser.
