Wrong node version

I get this error as soon as I try to run homebridge. I tried to reinstall both dns and homebridge using “npm install -g” but that didn’t make a difference:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/mdns/lib/dns_sd.js:35 throw ex; ^

Error: The module ‘/usr/local/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 57. This version of Node.js requires NODE_MODULE_VERSION 59.

In my experience, you need to npm -g uninstall homebridge explicitly before re-installing it, to force re-compilation of the mdns module. This is needed every time you change NodeJS to a different major version.
