Support

hi!

I’ve downloaded the node.js. I followed the instruction given on the appium.io page but when I got to this line:

npm install -g appium # get appium

An error occurs with this message:

error Error: No compatible version found: camel-back-promise@‘^1.0.0’

i think u need to install using linuxbrew.

after that install node.js using brew install node

then follow instructions as per appium documentations.

just download Node.js from here and extract it to Home folder(or anyplace where sudo is not needed)
Set the path in ~/.bashrc file.
Now run
npm install -g appium

Thats all you need.
