Appium can be installed using
npm(other package managers are not currently supported). Please check the installation docs for the system requirements and further information.If upgrading from Appium 1, make sure Appium 1 is fully uninstalled (
npm uninstall -g appium). Unexpected errors might appear if this has not been done.Note that this will only install the core Appium server, which cannot automate anything on its own. Please install drivers for your target platforms in order to automate them.
