# Debugging the Main Process

The DevTools in an Electron browser window can only debug JavaScript that's
executed in that window (i.e. the web pages). To debug JavaScript that's
executed in the main process you will need to use an external debugger and
launch Electron with the `--inspect` or `--inspect-brk` switch.

## Command Line Switches

Use one of the following command line switches to enable debugging of the main
process:

### `--inspect=[port]`

Electron will listen for V8 inspector protocol messages on the specified `port`,
an external debugger will need to connect on this port. The default `port` is
`5858`.

```shell
electron --inspect=5858 your/app
