To use node.js remote debugging, I could set a debug port to 8001 when starting the server with `node --debug=8001 app.js`. How can I do this using ember-cli? Thanks in advance.

You can run your local `ember-cli` through `node_modules/.bin/ember`

Putting it together…

```nohighlight
> node --debug=8001 node_modules/.bin/ember s

```
