pigpio: Could not locate bindings file

Hi when ever I use node to run my JS file I am displayed this error:

doorpi@doorpi:~ $ cd Smartphone-Doorlock/
doorpi@doorpi:~/Smartphone-Doorlock $ node doorlock.js 
/home/doorpi/Smartphone-Doorlock/node_modules/pigpio/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:91
  throw err
  ^

Attempting to run using the sudo $(which node) gives me the same error:

I can’t help you with SSL auth issues in blynk. The problems with the pigpio Node.js modules have been resolved. I’ll go ahead and close this issue. Good luck.

What command did you use to install the pigpio Node.js module? Did the pigpio Node.js module install successfully?

Hi, I installed pigpio via a few different commands: sudo apt-get install rpi.gpio sudo npm install pi-gpio npm install pi-gpio sudo apt-get install pigpio apt-get install pigpio

None of these have worked, and have produced the errors above According to the output of the installer, I assume that pigpio installed successfully
