This is telling you that the port :51826 is already in use - simply, you have more than one instance of home bridge trying to run... check for any other instances and stop them before starting another.

if homebridge run in the background, then try this :
$ sudo killall homebridge

Thanks!!

May be a problem with using the port of 51826. With no config.json used where a random port is used, no problem. Verified that port 51826 was not being used prior to each test. When I changed the port to something else like 51824, verified it wasn't being used either, and it starts up without the error.
