Appium

Part 1

• Download latest node and npm tools MSI (version >= 6.0) https://nodejs.org/download/release/v6.3.0/node-v6.3.0-x64.msi
• The npm and nodejs paths should be in your PATH environment variable. (by default they are)
• Open admin cmd prompt
• Run the command npm install -g appium which will install Appium from NPM
• run appium from the prompt.
• Download and install https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/releases

Part 2

1. Download the latest Java JDK here (accept the license agreement first). Set 'JAVA_HOME' to be your JDK path. The bin in that directory should be added to your PATH variable.
2. Install the Android SDK. Set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to be your Android SDK path and add the tools and platform-tools folders to your PATH variable.
3. Install Apache Ant or use the one that comes with the Android Windows SDK in the eclipse\plugins folder. Be sure to add the folder containing Ant to your PATH variable.
4. Install Apache Maven and set the M2HOME and M2 environment variables. Set M2_HOME to the directory maven is installed in, and set M2 to the bin in that directory. Add the path you used for M2 to your PATH.
5. To run tests on Windows, you will need to have the Android Emulator booted or an Android Device connected that is running an AVD with API Level 17 or greater. Then run Appium on the command line (via the appium command)
6. Your test script should ensure that the platformVersion capability corresponds to the emulator or device version you are testing, and that the app capability is an absolute path to the .apk file of the Android app.
