What is the latest version of nodeJS, Grunt, and Yeoman (yo) supported for Smart UI?

Hi,

  I'm trying to build a smart UI dev environment.  Can anyone tell me what are the latest versions of nodeJS, the npm package manager, grunt, and yeoman that are supported for SmartUI development?

WHen I did the smartUI course at EW2019, the state of the art was something like NodeJS at version 8, npm at version 3, grunt at version 1, and yeoman at version 1.  All of these have come along since then.  Has anyone used the latest version of everything together?  What are the combinations of versions that have worked for others? I'm expecting to get crickets now as almost no one is developing smart UI (at least not in the Oscript world).

Thanks in advance

I've verified a couple of things.  Basically nodeJS 4.x won't work but nor will the latest release 12.x.  When I used nodeJS 8.17, npm 3.10.10 (i.e. install -g npm@3), grunt 1.1.0, and yo 1.8.5, this combination will work with installing the CSUI-SDK and running it, it will also allow you to link the generator and run yeoman to create your smartUI project and your demo widget.  The other two versions of nodeJS I tried (early one and late one) both resulted in compile problems in yeoman plus lots of nasty warning when you go to run npm install.
