@MohanKumar you mix something. when we try to install not existing package we have:

aleks:tmp Aleksei$ npm install -g appiumdedde
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/appiumdedde
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404  'appiumdedde' is not in the npm registry.
...

when we execute in console unknown command we have your result:

aleks:tmp Aleksei$ appiumeed

Hi All, I have installed appium using desktop version and also sometime back also installed using command prompt in my mac machine but when I am trying to check appium with command as $ where appium
the message is
-bash: where: command not found

what does it mean ? Means appium is not available ? I have to re-install?
