Failed at the bignum@0.12.5 install script

Hello all, starting to pull my hair out. I’ve tried to install home bridge but keep hitting the road block of node and npm versions. Any help would be appreciated. I have also tried to remove and reinstall node and npm but it just won’t update to the newer versions.

You are still using node 0.10.29… Try install node v6.x using the following command

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
