Configuring Appium in Ubuntu from Scratch
1.Install node.js without using sudo-
Do not install node.js through apt-get, which will need sudo rights and appium will not work if node.js is installed as sudo user. If you have already installed remove it using commands: sudo apt-get remove nodejs sudo apt-get remove npm Download latest nodejs linux binaries from https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest/ into a folder for example /home/superman/Downloads (where superman is your username and you have downloaded the file in Downloads) Now install it under /usr/local using cd /usr/local tar --strip-components 1 -xzf /home/superman/Downloads/node-v8.2.1-linux-x64.tar.gz Check the installation using which node it should give you output usr/local/bin/node
node -v should give you output v8.2.1 (or whichever version you have installed) 2. Install java, jdk and jre-
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install default-jre sudo apt-get install default-jdk //to install oracle jdk sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer 3. Set the JAVA HOME path-
//open bashrc file gedit ~/.bashrc export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin //run following command to verify the path echo $JAVA_HOME echo $PATH Tip: Use the following command to find out exact path to which java executable under UNIX / Linux: which java 4.

Once android sdk is installed add ANDROID_HOME to environment using: gedit /.bashrc //add following lines at the end of the file and then save export ANDROID_HOME=/home/user_name/Android/Sdk export PATH=$PATH:/home/user_name/Android/Sdk/tools export PATH=$PATH:/home/user_name/Android/Sdk/platform-tools 5. Install appium globally-
sudo npm install -g appium --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root //check if appium is installed using appium 6. Install appium-doctor to troubleshoot the errors if any using:
