After all this I see the following (Also tried restarting the chrome )

Connecting via Websocket server

$ devtools-terminal

I have exactly the same problem.

Also verified here. @petethepig anything we can do to assist here? It looks like lots of people have been having issues getting the extension running.

[arthurvr]

I have that issue too.

Same here.. Worked on my previous computer. Now since I got a new one, it won't let me install it again.

If you use Chromium, run sudo devtools-terminal --install --chromium.

Found out by checking out https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petethepig/devtools-terminal/master/backend/bin/devtools-terminal.

Now it works! 😃
