[appium 1.6.3][Mac os] Installation fails

Issues/Bugs
1

Hi there,

I’m trying to install latest version of appium (1.6.3) on Mac OS El Capitan (10.11.6) by using npm.
npm -v prints 4.0.5.
node -v prints 7.3.0.

The installation fails with the command npm install -g appium@latest --no-shrinkwrap with the error message:
info Chromedriver Install Installing Chromedriver version ‘2.26’ for platform ‘mac’ and architecture ‘64’
info Chromedriver Install Opening temp file to write chromedriver_mac64 to…

I have to use a proxy because of company restrictions.
I set the related parameters for npm:

npm config set strict-ssl false
npm config set registry “http://registry.npmjs.org/”
npm config set proxy http://user:password@proxy:ip

Can anyone help me out?

There is no official 1.6 UI released yet.
