Is this project abandoned?

[DannyBen]

Seems like issues are open for several years, and it fails to install.

if it is abandoned, perhaps mention it somewhere in the README and archive it? it is still being recommended by some, and I remember that it worked well when it did, so I would love for it to not be abandoned...

Agreed, definitely think the author should take just a few minutes to mark as no longer supported, would have saved me quite some time tonight!

However, for those looking to still install this package (IMO it was the best terminal recorder available), a simple fix (at the time of this writing) is to use the n package, e.g.

npm install -g n
n install 8.17.0
n exec 8.17.0 npm install -g ttystudio

since the offending dependency pty.js builds OK with the now deprecated nodejs version 8.x.

Thanks for the tip @samtay.

Here's a very nice alternative that worked great for me: https://github.com/nbedos/termtosvg.

Can confirm that my issue was as well that this project requires an older node version. In my case, I'm using nvm to manage different versions of installed nodes:

$ nvm install lts/carbon
Downloading and installing node v8.17.0...
...
$ nvm use lts/carbon
Now using node v8.17.0 (npm v6.13.4)
$ npm install -g ttystudio
...
added 6 packages from 10 contributors in 4.86s

Thanks heaps for the NVM native solution @dionysius!
