I am running a node application on terminal. Have recently upgraded to node v8.5.0, but am getting this error:

Error: The module '/tidee/tidee-au/packages/tidee-au-server/node_modules/bcrypt/lib/binding/bcrypt_lib.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 51. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

Any idea how to solve this?
