Homebridge: new NodeJS and npm versions

[morilm]

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.

Regards,

That is a cached compiled version, which was compiled before you upgraded. There are some tickets here that had the same issue with older node versions, use the search to learn how to re-compile the dependencies of homebridge.

Thanks Snowdd1

I just sudo unistall homebrige....

sudo npm uninsstall homebrigde -g

and reinstall again

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge

this fixed the issue!!!!

FIX (DOCUMENTATION)

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

Works for me.

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

Would doing this require to reconfigure homebridge or does everything com back how it was?

this is happening now after upgrading to fedora 29. following established remedy produces this error:

npm install homebridge -g --unsafe-perm
/usr/bin/homebridge -> /usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/bin/homebridge
