new NodeJS and npm versions

Hi.

Just got updated to new Node.Js and NPM versions and Homebrigde refuses to lunch

$ node -v v8.0.0 $ npm -v 5.0.0

Seems we might need to get some update.

FIX (DOCUMENTATION)

npm uninstall homebrigde -g
rm -Rf /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/
npm install homebridge -g --unsafe-perm

Works for me.
