Step-by-Step Guide for Installing Appium on OS X
Visit:http://appium.io/
Pre-Requisite:
Installed OSX10.9.2 (Mavericks)
Installed XCode Version 5.1 (5B130a)
Step: 1 Install Node.js
Install Homebrew v.0.9.5 (in order to do a brew install in next step)

2. Install Node.js and npm with Homebrew
First, install Homebrew. Open the terminal and type:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Then, run brew update to ensure your Homebrew is up to date.
brew update
As a safe measure, run brew doctor to make sure your system is ready to brew.
Follow any recommendations from brew doctor.
brew doctor
Next, add the Homebrew location to your $PATH and source your bash or zsh profile
file after adding/saving this:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Next, install Node (npm will be installed with node):
brew install node
Step2: Install APPIUM
run ‘npm install -g appium’

3. run ‘npminstall wd’(youmightneedtoSUDO)
Nowrun ‘authorize_ios’
You mightgetthiserror: “error stderr maxbugger exceeded”
running again as ‘sudo authorize_ios’ but now seeing
--- error: Appium will not function correctly if used under sudo. Please rerun as a non-root
user. If you had to install Appium using `sudo npm install -g appium`, the solution is to
reinstall Node using a method (Homebrew, for example) that doesn't require sudo to install
global npm packages.
since authorize_ios does not work with sudo you needed to manually run chown on the
Applications dir. Just ran this:
cd
‘/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/De
veloper/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator7.1.sdk’
sudo chown -R <yourusername>:staff Applications
Once everything is done just type: ‘appium &’ in the terminal and it will start the
Appium and you should be ready to use it.
