Cannot find module '../build/Release/zmq.node' after Pop-OS/Ubuntu update

I recently updated my operating system, which is Pop-OS, which is a Ubuntu's distribution. Before updating, I could run nodejs with ZeroMQ perfectly. Now, I can't run any file with ZeroMQ, not even with just this SLOC-line: const zmq = require('zeromq')

I am using Visual Studio code and also I tried to uninstall and install from scratch nodejs and npm and nothing works.

This is the error:

myuser@pop-os:~/Documents/Lab/fuentes$ node publicadorServer.js 

 node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:922
  throw err;
 ^

Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/zmq.node'

  ]
 }

I have installed ZeroMQ with this command at the directory of the project :
npm install zeromq@5

Any help would be appreciated.

Finally I could fix it, only with the command npm rebuild.

Unbelievable. I guess, installing a new version of node and the new operating system version make necessary to rebuild it, but I still don't understand that, if I uninstall nodejs and npm, why it was not working. Fortunately, it's all fixed.
