Running Tessel 1 today

[wautersj]

Is there a way to get my Tessel 1 up and running today?

I don't seem to be able to install the CLI, due to deprecations and missing projects.
I tried lowering the node and npm versions, but failed to resolve it. Is there a specific setup that I can follow to get it to install again?

Pinging @Frijol, as said she was able to get hers running recently on the latest Node.

Hi! yes, I was just playing around with my T1 & did a reinstall of the tessel CLI– worked on Node 10.10.0. Does that work on your computer?

Can confirm this is not currently working, tried with node 10.10.0 as well as 10.16.0 and the latest version of 8.

It would also help if we could know the exact version of nodejs that is supported (mostly) by colony-lua.

In https://github.com/tessel/t1-docs/blob/master/compatibility.md it just says to visit http://nodejs.org/api/, but that page obviously has the docs for the latest node.

Good question. @tcr would be the best person to know that
