Error Node.js recompile?

Hi,

I have been running Homebridge for a while without much trouble. Was about to install a plugin, but it requires Node.js version over 7.6.0. And I read about it, that uninstalling homebridge and plugins would be the best way to go.

So I saved the config and uninstalled homebridge, npm, nodejs, node-gyp. And then installed everything again: This is the version I am left with now: node -v v8.5.0 npm -v 3.10.10 (which is weird because I told it to install the latest which is 5.4.2, I cannot get it to update over this version?)

And Homebridge 0.4.28.

This is the result when running it and checking the logs: Error: The module '/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/mdns/build/Release/dns_sd_bindings.node' was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 48. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing the module (for instance, using npm rebuildornpm install). at Object.Module._extensions..node (module.js:653:18) at Module.load (module.js:545:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:508:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:500:3) at Module.require (module.js:568:17) at require (internal/module.js:11:18) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/mdns/lib/dns_sd.js:24:20) at Module._compile (module.js:624:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:635:10) at Module.load (module.js:545:32)

I have tried npm rebuild, no difference. npm install gives me this result: npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/root/package.json' npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/root/package.json' npm WARN root No description npm WARN root No repository field. npm WARN root No README data npm WARN root No license field.

What can I try next?

By the way I had to install homebridge with --unsafe-perm, otherwise I got this error: gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/root/.node-gyp/8.5.0" gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/curve25519-n2/.node-gyp"

node -v v8.4.0 npm -v 5.3.0

I’m getting the same error message:

I’ve deleted homebridge from node_modules and I’ve done sudo npm install --unsafe-perm mdns sudo npm rebuild --unsafe-perm

Any ideas what else I can try?

Well it is the latest node 8.5 that crashes it, had to reinstall homebridge, not fun
