Missing plugin folder on Homebridge startup? #39

Hi there, I seem to be having trouble using this plugin with Homebridge. I start Homebridge and I get this error message:

It seems that there are missing folders in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-gpio-wpi2/node_modules/node-wiring-pi which I can confirm because I cannot find 'build' using 'cd' which is suppose to be located in that spot?

I believe I have installed the plugin correctly using:

npm install -g homebridge-gpio-wpi2

and I also installed wiring pi as well.

Any ideas?

For anyone that faces this same issue, I resolved it by uninstalling homebridge-gpio-wpi2 using cd /usr/lib/node_modules sudo rm -rf homebridge-gpio-wpi2

and then using sudo npm install -g homebridge-gpio-wpi2 --unsafe-perm to reinstall.

I believe this may have something to do with the way I installed Homebridge at the start using sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm homebridge
