The way of update Appium on MAC

Hi Guys,

Until now, i still have no clear idea about how to upgrade appium. For exapmple, now i have installed the appium by node and the appium version is 1.4.12.

If i want to update to 1.4.13. What are the steps i need to perform on MAC ? Are the below step are correct ?

  1. npm uninstall -g appium
  2. npm install -g appium@latest

Or i just use below:
npm install -g appium@latest

Thanks in advance

Easiest way to install, uninstall, or keep multiple versions of appium is with avm (appium version manager).You can read this page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/appium-version-manager . Hope this helps.

Thanks, @AmitSharma
That’s really help.

npm install appium -g
should do good in mac, it will automatically install the latest version of Appium

Beware:
The above command installs 1.x version of Appium. If you had already Appium 2.0.x, it would override that and installs the old 1.x version. Please make a note of this.
