Hi, I am new to appium. I would like to use Appium on Windows 10 to test my Android app. So, I am following the directions on “[http://appium.io/docs/en/about-appium/getting-started/?lang=en](http://appium.io/docs/en/about-appium/getting-started/?lang=en)”. I successfully ran the following: npm install -g appium npm install -g appium-doctor However, running “appium-doctor --android” results in the following error: android could NOT be found in C:\Users\CharlesTeague\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk! What should I do to resolve the above error. Thanks in advanced for your help. Charlie Teague ---

it is not clear in docs but follow link -\> [http://appium.io/docs/en/drivers/android-uiautomator2/index.html#basic-setup](http://appium.io/docs/en/drivers/android-uiautomator2/index.html#basic-setup) check Java and install Android SDK by downloading and installing Android Studio first. ---

@Aleksei Thank you for the help. I already had installed Android Studio. I have version 4.The SDK Manager in this version has “Android SDK Tools” marked as Obsolete, so I had not installed them. So, to resolve this issue I did two things: 1. Install the “Android SDK Tools” marked as Obsolete 2. Add “C:\Users\CharlesTeague\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin” to my Path Environment Variables. Now, the error message about not finding Android in the sdk no longer appears. ---

Same here, By installing the “Android SDK Tools” that was marked as obsolete, Appium-doctor recognise and found the SDK. thanks guys!
