Getting Error EBUSY: resource busy or locked


Trying to run a Nodejs app to test Raspberry 3 B + Gpio Onoff Module but when i am trying to run the app getting this Error

fs.js:114
throw err;

Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, write

Here is my App Code

var onoff = require('onoff');
var Gpio = onoff.Gpio,
  led = new Gpio(4, 'out'),
  interval;
interval = setInterval(function () {
  var value = (led.readSync() + 1) % 2;
  led.write(value, function () {
    console.log("Changed LED state to: " + value);
  });
}, 2000);
process.on('SIGINT', function () {
  clearInterval(interval);
  led.writeSync(0);
  led.unexport();
  console.log('Bye, bye!');
  process.exit();
});

Already Tried Fixes by updating and upgrading apt and reinstalling node modules.

Please Help me to resolve this issue.

    If it doesn't solve the issue, just change the GPIO pin to let's say 23 in coding and don't forget to physically replace LED from 4 to 23 too.
