[Mesh] Installing patchwork with new nodejs version on Fedora

[John]

On Xubuntu I installed Node.js 4.2.6, and ran npm install, and npm 
start, but got this errror:


Projects/patchwork$ npm start

 > ssb-patchwork at 3.6.5 start /home/john/Documents/Projects/patchwork
 > electron index.js


(electron:18943): IBUS-WARNING **: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not 
connect: Connection refused
Error: *The module 
'/home/john/Documents/Projects/patchwork/node_modules/leveldown/build/Release/leveldown.node'**
**was compiled against a different Node.js version* using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 46. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 53. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or`npm install`).

^C


Any ideas on how to fix it?  Thanks...
