Hi all,  
I dusted off my BeagleBone Black and decided to try out NodeRED, and I seem to be getting hung up on the "Getting Started" part.  
[https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/beaglebone](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/beaglebone)

I grabbed the latest IoT monthly snapshot from their forums:

Looks like it came with Nodejs v12 and NodeRED v3.0.2.

In particular, when I go to install node-red-contrib-gpio, the installer seems to be fairly consistently choking on its use of version 8.0.8 of serialport/bindings, which seems to want Nodejs to be at least v14?

> **[@serialport/bindings](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@serialport/bindings/v/8.0.8)**

> The bindings package has been renamed \[\`@serialport/bindings-cpp\`\](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@serialport/bindings-cpp) and it's code has been moved out of the monorepo to it's \[own repository\](https://github.com/serialport/bindings-cpp/).. Latest...

Is there a workaround for this?
