I am running my NodeJs App and i am getting an error. 

sudo /usr/local/bin/node app.js    
    Error: Failed to load gRPC binary module because it was not installed for the current system
Expected directory: node-v57-linux-x64-glibc

This problem can often be fixed by running "npm rebuild" on the current system

Found: [node-v59-linux-x64-glibc]

Have you tried running npm rebuild in your app folder?
