bindings.setParam error (ws281x-native.js)

[Morenju1363]

Hello, Im trying to run a nodejs back end server but keep running into an error. Everytime i try to run my backend.js file as "sudo node backend.js" i get the following error:

"
/home/yg/Desktop/Projects/myLEDVisualizer/node-rpi-ws281x-native/lib/ws281x-native.js:144
bindings.setParam(paramCodes.dma, dma);
^

I have looked into the native.js file as well as the binding file it points to and I sede that the setParam function is declared for the variable bindings.
Thanks for the help
