Note that this tool was created by the initial developers of the NodeMCU firmware. It hasn't seen updates since September 2015 and is not maintained by the current NodeMCU *firmware* team. Be careful to not accidentally flash the very old default firmware the tool is shipped with.
Supported platforms: anything that runs Python, runnable `.exe` available for Windows and `.dmg` for macOS
Disclaimer: the availability of [NodeMCU PyFlasher was announced on the NodeMCU Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/NodeMCU/posts/663197460515251) but it is not an official offering of the current NodeMCU firmware team.
