Which yeoman version I should install with Node v6.11.2 and npm3.10.10

Question

I am trying to setup my first SharePoint framework on SP2016 on-premise. Microsoft indicated only spfx v1.1 is supported. According to some old blog, I need to install Node v6.x for spfx v1.1.

After I install node v6.11.2, I tried to install Yeoman as everyone do.

npm install -g yo

Then I am getting follow error:

C:\Users\myuserid\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\yo\node_modules\yeoman-doctor\lib\index.js:12
  (async () => {
         ^

I guess I need to install an older version Yo? If so could you advise which one is suitable?
