Node-Inspector not starting


First, I was having an issue installing node-inspector, I had to revert to installing version @0.7.5.. That installed globally on my machine, but now when I try to run node-inspector I get the error below. I find it odd that I haven't been able to find much in regards to these two errors.

module.js:487
    throw err;
    ^
Error: Cannot find module '_debugger'
